One year later Amiga introduced Workbench, which, in my opinion, was the better GUI.
Also, Amigas were far more powerful and versatile than Apple. But alas, Commodore screwed up even though the Amiga evolved into the first professional desktop video editor (Video Toaster) and 3D modeling/animation for the average user. (Lightwave) Key word here is average user.
Commodore somehow threw it all away.

Posted in: The nuclear family living in a nice house, with one working parent, eating dinner together, watching TV shows together, a strong sense of neighborhood community when kids played outdoors with one another unlike today. Did that really exist or was it something created by 1950s U.S. TV shows? See in context
It really did exist and I grew in it. It was NOT a life of luxury, but we did not want for necessities. Lots of second hand clothing and used cars and bicycles and shopping at discount department stores for the remaining necessities.
Then it all changed in the 1980s.
