While watching a documentary about the Russian footbal team of Euro '88 I spotted the following:



If i'm not wrong this is an Amiga 1000 !

I think the man in the picture is the famous Russian coach Lobanovskyi, who used computers to gather info/statistics about players,
which is quite common nowadays, but way ahead of it's time in those days.

Yap, you can definitely see the checkmark logo to the left and the case layout matches the A1000:)

@Jose

something about that photo makes that a1000 look modern.... not old and clunky
maybe its because its b&w?

My A1000s don't look old and clunky but very modern i still find it a great design even today! It's not fanboyism, i think it for real

Good catch!

Too bad I never owned an A1000. I always thought it had an awesome design.

I know this is probably a stupid question, but someone had to ask.

What is it?
