This sort of thing should have resulted in Commodore's entire engineering department being set on fire. Just saying.
Nope... Not them that were to blame. People like Haynie actually had a lot of frustration.
You can't blame "The animals" (or other commodore people alike) for bad marketing and change in product's.
Remember. It was all their bosses that canned AAA chipset's and deciding that they needed to sell a 500+.
Who else would be stupid enough, to devellop an 500+ and 6 month's later releasing the 600.
Not to speak of releasing the 1200 shortly after the 600, at the same price without announcing it at all.
People who bought a 600 back then, really felt that they were let into buying the cat in the sack.
Bill Herd and Dave Haynie are not to be blamed. They gave 100% and more, to that company.
If you know how they worked when creating a computer as the C64. (18 hours a day for 6 months, sleeping at work)
They were the real Commodore, and not that management of d**k's.
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
