6:56 BRUTAL LOL I was 10 when Amstrad pulled this with the 664 owners LOL, the computer mags were always ablaze with folks coating off Alan Sugar LOL Great video.
Aftersales would be a premium rate phoneline, with option 5 for refunds which is 3 days hold music to be answered by a blundering idiot who talks jibberish make you quit trying.
Incredibly lack of hype and bullshit coming from the manufacturers too. Except maybe some of the claims about compatibility and definitely Alan Sugar talking about dot matrix printers lol
OMG I had to laugh at Alan sugar wen she asked him something technical thinking she was oh yeah I know wat I'm on about then he simply said "no not really " and "I don't know wat you're on about "
@@vhsvideovault That's what I thought, the name reminded me straight away, still can't understand how the BBC got him mixed up with a African dude coming for a job interview 🤔

No, but they created ABasiC which came with the first few Amigas, and AmigaDOS which is the command line interface and literally the disk operating system. Commdodore replaced a lot of Metacomco's work by AmigaDOS / OS 2.0 in 1990. Metcomco's AmigaDOS was largely based on BCPL code which was eventually converted into C more or less entirely by 1990. Metacomco picked up the pieces when the CAOS project well, ended up in chaos I think in 1984... (CAOS - Commodore Amiga Operating System) - if you google TripOS which was Metacomco's 68000 based DOS and then compare it to AmigaDOS, that is what Metacomco ported. Amiga Workbench itself (the icons etc) is a bit hard to trace who did that but the graphical user interface was called Intuition (you see it in the Workbench screen in this video, only early versions did this) and was created by RJ Mical, who came to Amiga from Williams, and went on to work with Dave Needle on the Lynx and 3DO.
She's clearly clueless and had no idea that the 664 was a 464 with a disk drive, therefore it had heaps of software to run, and with continual support during that time.
Piece of junk, I used to repair this junk for Amstrad. There was no further development for this product, they where left out in the cold, thats Amstrad, "buy, bin it and buy another cheap rubbish product". Never trust a barrowboy salesman. CP/M old and waste of time when it came out.

Great video.
When I was at school, the gag was that you could tell when someone was using an Amstrad word processor because there was Tippex all over the screen.
A truly excellent behind the scenes 𝑨𝑴𝑰𝑮𝑨 demonstration. The hardware hasn't lost its magic after all these decades.
Can you imagine having to talk to Sugar to get a refund !
I think his reply would be something along the lines of 'oh piss off!'
He would probably say your fired even tho you didn't work for him

@@SuperOldShows He comes across as a bit of a Willy wonka, no trade in 😣
Lol Alan isn’t going to give you a refund! 😂
"No income tax, no VAT,
No money back, no guarantee..."
Love the way at 643 that she leads Alan Sugar up an alley and ambushes him.
Alan Sugar would have sacked that woman for given him a hard time.
I like the succinct style of Database. Back when TV told you stuff. I learnt more in 10 minutes than I’d learn in an entire evening of modern telly

false

I remember those days, I was an IT Manager at the time. I am Younger than that Now
I adore how the show goes from pip-pip savvy professional to truly british playful puns by just walking through a door. 😂
£399. I could never imagine having that much dough in 1985.
@Kilo ByteInflation adjusted, £399 of 1985 is £1,218 today. The average month's worth of wages. For me personally, that's holiday money lol.
Back in the day come a long way since then
"Make it talk"
That's must be the same Guy Kewney, who was upstaged by Guy Goma on the BBC news, taking about Apple Vs Apple.
Exactly the same one.

"Interesting" Show's what a nasty bit of work Alan S really is !
I had a CPC6128 🙂👍
Still got Amstrad 6128 and german copy Schneider 6128
The things we take for granted now
AMS always had an attitude didn't he.
Lol. The presenter definitely stood her ground in Amstrad interview. Alan was being difficult.
Women had higher voices in the olden days.
Did Metacomco create Amiga Workbench?

There is an interview with Dr. Tim King about what he did. ruclips.net/video/pm-szurM5VY/видео.html
As I stated a year ago about Robert Maxwell. Now we have his ghastly daughter in the news.
