Which job would you apply for in the 1980's/90's with the big C=?

Paul_s · 22 February 2010, 22:30

Poll to follow!

PowerPie5000 · 22 February 2010, 22:53

Well i chose engineering as that's what i'm qualified for

I suppose i could do quality control too as i'm a bit of a perfectionist! (you will never see capacitors soldered in the wrong way around with me on the job

)

Antiriad · 22 February 2010, 22:57

Marketing as even I could have done a better job than the dimwits they used back in the day!!!

killergorilla · 22 February 2010, 23:20

Was gonna vote but Antiriad stole my line!

PowerPie5000 · 22 February 2010, 23:23

How about security armed with an A500 power brick on a stick

Charlie · 22 February 2010, 23:30

CEO for me...
...even if I made a complete and utter horlicks of it C= would still have been in better shape under my command.

Hey, rather than the famous 'Jack attacks' there could have been 'Charlie Mouse attacks' possibly involving me showing off my marvellous mechanical mouse organ...

Dan Locke · 23 February 2010, 01:16

I would have voted for "Senior Executive Post", but I didn't notice it (I just skimmed through the list looking for "CEO") and ended up picking Marketing instead.

But, really, even a kid like me with no experience to speak of would have done a better job at either. The Amiga would have actually been marketed in the US, and the Ranger/AAA/Hombre Amigas would have been put into production.

gimbal · 23 February 2010, 09:30

definitely security. Killing them Ataritarts... woosh!

AmigaFriend · 23 February 2010, 10:04

Quality control. I know when to use the hammer!

Photon · 23 February 2010, 23:24

Hah, great post Paul.

I figured what they failed to do was to go from "Business is war" to a real #$^& war!

So I figured I'd put up the glorious flag of the Commodore Party, wipe out the enemy (I hope torturing spies is part of the job description!), and some good old fashioned propaganda to wash the brains remains of the huddled masses that fail to realize the SIGNIFICANCE of our beliefs.

I would never want to be Senior Exec, cos let's face it, who could ever replace the God-like greatness of our glorious Leader, Mr. Wotsits. For you see, I am humbled by the mere thought of his awesomeness.

Hahaaa!

Jope · 24 February 2010, 10:37

I'd be in CATS.

Graham Humphrey · 24 February 2010, 12:51

I can make a mean cup of tea so that's my role sorted...

Herpes · 24 February 2010, 23:13

Definitely Senior executive - to execute all seniors who f***ed up this company

Djay · 25 February 2010, 00:37

i would of made Commodore sign up developers/publishers to make exclusives, also as their market was more like a console market than the PC market (ie single hardware producer) like Apple today (Apple have successfully gone for specialist market and made their computer look and feel better than your average PC)

publisher licensing fees may of been used to further fund research and developed rather than replying on just computer sales... even to point of releasing hardware addons

switching to a tower format might have also helped, the ability to add hardware

Reynolds · 25 February 2010, 11:39

I've selected Warehousing. Just to know how many Amiga 4000T/3000T/3000+/ultra rare hyper special "only Amiga" stuffs to rescue during the bankruptcy

copperkid · 01 March 2010, 21:16

Engineering, those were The days!
...when I read "On the edge" I had tears all book long

btw, my first post: great site guys
