I've figured it out.

Commodore needs to do several things to get the Amiga widely accepted in the
US.
   1) Raise the price of the A500 by a factor of 3, build in a tiny mono screen
and call it the Amiga Classic.  Put it in a brand spanking new case and slap a
'New and Improved' sticker on it.
    2) Saturate the advertising media with nauseating adds (run em 7 days a
week, twice a day).
    3) Make the Operating System bloated and chock full of cutesy
'personalizing' touches.
