If you want to hang the right person, it was Mehdi Ali who ran C= and the Amiga into the ground, not Irving Gould (he was just the rich guy with the sea container patent, he had no idea about the PC business in general).
My A500 had 1.5M of ram. Also a self-built adapter with an ISA-slot, filled with a PC-HD-controler and a Seagate ST225RLL drive for an insane 32MByte of harddisk space.. I remember the day when the indonesian government shut down the CD32 plant and transferred the entire stock to the workers (who hadn't been paid for months then. That was a sure sign Amiga days were over..). Also the post of Dave Haynie where he mentioned they instantly fried one of the two new AA chipsets which were ever manufactured due to financial restraints (and I recently came across my Amiga Deathbed-vigil T-shirt again)
