The article has a couple factual errors (the Amiga 100, the Amiga 2000 debuting in 1985), but it's still great to read something like this in 2017. And I missed the "A history of the Amiga, part 11" article, so that was nice!

Maybe Amigas were also used to morph Elvis Presley into an overweight hamburger gluton too Maybe Michael Jackson was actually still a black man and it was just Video Toaster fakery the made his skin appear white!!  _________________

They want a lot of money for a 30 year-old computer! _________________

| Now that we have the HW to space, there is only need of a program to communicate back to earth.
Progression is Cool. |

Maybe it was a coincidence that 2006 was the year HDTV became mainstream that the Amigas were phased out... By the way have you seen those ISS videos? If anyone believes those green-screened productions are in space, I have land to sell you on the moon. |
