I didn't imply that. In general trying to save pennies as a rule is a
bad thing, imho.
Spectre is probably "unwanted" as a bug.

I love the great computers and leading edge products of Commodore, up
until 1982, then
also the Amiga was a great success but it could have been even better
with the right management.
Unfortunately, other than those, it tried to compete in the wrong way,
that's my humble opinion.
No brand must become a religion imho, they did great things but also
very bad products.
