That should be a particularly attractive possibility to Commodore...

If you think about it, if the Amiga remains a home computer, there
no incentive to create high-end machines.  Because too few homeowners
would be able to afford it to justify Commodore's effort to market
them. Only a business with a job to do can justify spending large sums
on powerful equipment, because that expense is directly returned in
increased productivity, etc.  No such rationale exists for a homeowner.
