The ST is the rush job, Tramiel needed to strike the upcoming Amiga and beat his former company in the Cold War of 16bit. This is a fact.
The b*stard child, that always envied his half sister that was better in virtually everything and wanted to have her fame and beauty.
I don't buy that ST helped the Amiga in anything. There was already another big 68K rival. Mac. Amiga would (without the ST) be able to concentrate on the different market that Mac was moving fast. It made her lost her focus.
Atari ST should have never existed, Tramiel should have stayed in his own Company, the love of his life and Ghould can rot in IT History hell (I am not wishing "real" hell to any human being).
Amiga would be the PC of today. That was the Master Plan.
You may proceed now, sorry for the interruption.
