Please remember that the Amiga is not descendend from the C64. The two machines are, except for the brand name, unrelated. Rather, the Amiga descends from the Atari 8-bit machines, there are many similarities in how the chip set is designed and how their work is spread.
In my case, I had an 8-bit Atari before, and I considered buying an ST. However, the technical specifications of the Amiga were superiour when I had the chance to check both machines, probably with the exception of the monitor. When it became clear that the Amiga chip design was from the same person who did the 8-bit Ataris, I made the choice and go for an Amiga.
