And there is this: "The Mac had specifically square pixels, and small. That monitor was supposed to be a big deal, with pixels exactly 1 point wide and 1 point tall."

The other point which did not suit for a professional environment is the flashy look of the workbench at the time and the free size of icons which can rapidly lead to a merry chaos.

Console roots, yes. The colours was choosed to operate on a TV.

However Commodore had a card to play in the artistic field I think. They did not push it.
Huh Amiga max no interlaced res of 320x200/320x256??
