When Workbench 1.2 released in the early days of the Amiga 500, there was an obscure sequence of keypresses you could do in order to bring up an easter egg containing the names of the developers, and finally the line, referring to Commodore:
As someone who successively owned an Amiga 500, 2000HD and 3000T from the late 80's to the mid-90's, and saw that message, I never understood what they meant by it at the time Workbench 1.2 came out in 1988. Perhaps they were referring to Commodore's strange advertising of the Amiga? The high price?
In retrospect, the fact Commodore went bankrupt was a major fuck up, but that hadn't happened yet when Workbench 1.2 came out.
"We made Amiga, They fucked it up"
This was the truth.
