i've talked about how the amiga 2000 and amiga 500 arrives on the market. now I will talk about how despite what rattigan did, he's still in the wrong in the eyes of Irving gould.
it appears that once again, commodore was finding their footing. Thomas Rattigan had begun to turn things around, posting $28 billion in profits for the previous financial year, but yet this apparently displeased chairman Irving gould who seemingly had a bone to pick with rattigan, possibly an egotistical disturbance, it's hard for sure. but gould accused rattigan of conducting himself in a "high profile manner", whatever that means... to me, it sounds like he just didn't like the guy and consulting firm was hired to quickly concluded that rattigan should've fired. this was promptly executed by gould in April 1987 and rattigan found himself booted out of commodore the very next day to the bewilderment of fellow staff members.
he would subsequently sue commodore for breach of contract and finally win in 1991 for $9 million dollars but be unable to complete the work he had begun. we'll never know what difference he would have made to the greater picture of amiga, but for now, commodore had 2 new machines and a healthier set of accounts and was about to launch the sidecar, allowing 1000 (amiga 1000) to serve as a full PC-XT clone.
that's all for now, part 11 can be found here
