| Hello! I am Doug from 10 Minute Amiga retro Cast and I have been making a mostly-weekly show on the Amiga and Commodore 8 bit computers for over a year now. I thought I would make one centralized announcement thread for my new shows.
If you are not familiar with my channel, I create videos all about the Amiga computers, concentrating on the hardware and creative side as opposed to being a gaming channel. I do reviews on new Amiga hardware products and on older products from the eighties and nineties, too. I also try to do interviews with well known people from our industry, too. Come take a look!
You can find a list of all my past episodes here:

Just a few examples of rather well known names involved in the day:
Perhaps people have heard of "Dalton books"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B._Dalton#Software_Etc. I don't see mention of this in the wiki, but they sold Amiga 500 computers in the Software Etc. stores. I should know. I bought one there. heh.
Anyone who knows cameras will know the name "B&H Photo" of New York City https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%26H_Photo Major retailer of all things Amiga. Old timers will recall them. heh.
Usage?
How about Dave Gardy? What about your roots in Fairfax County? Guess what platforms they used.
Dick Van Dyke and his Newtek connections as a hobbyist certainly has more name recognition, but the above was a huge professional sales operation. I'm sure I still have one of the company demo tapes here somewhere. heh.

I never knew that. The one in my area only sold Packard Bell 8088s.
A friend of mine bought his first A1000 at Donaldson's department store. I think they only sold them for a few months -- in the toy department!

How odd. My store also carried Apple II GS, a "competitor" for game play at the time. My store was geared to games s/w obviously. Perhaps that's the difference?
And there was a huge magazine rack in the back which carried most all Amiga titles of the day.

Yes, probably. The store I went to was in a large mall, and carried mostly productivity software. They had very few games, and no magazines that I recall._________________ "Unix is supposed to fix that." -- Jay Miner |

Thanks. Nice to see what is possible with the Amiga. You also explain it all very well. Extract .lha, work with the shell, where install everything. Very well. That way I am still learning more. _________________ Amiga 500+, Pi 3b+ and Amiga os 3.10 Amikit XE usb Stick Powerbook 17" and MorphOS 3.13 PowerMac G5 2.3 MP and MorphOS 3.13 Sam 460 with Amiga os 4.1 and checkmate 1500 www.sitedesign.be |
