Well see that is the funny thing, my thinking at the time when it was released was more like Wow! a game console with the power of an Amiga 1200 and I can expand it into a full blown Amiga Computer! CD attachments were both expensive and kind of fiddly requiring either a PCMCIA type connection or a SCSI connector on an accelerator card on the 1200. The CD32 however with added SX32 or similar device plus a hard drive/keyboard/floppy etc still seemed more compact and something just seemed cool about expanding a gaming system into a multi-media computer. I figured I could start with the CD32 then slowly expand it. I admit, I actually convinced myself that the CD32 not only stood a chance in the gaming console market but would actually crush the competition (YES I WAS a sad Amiga Fanboy lol!) but of course thanks once again to Commodores horrible marketing and going bankrupt soon after releasing it all those dreams quickly diminished.
