| Thanks for writing your report Thomas. 
Always nice to see some positive Amiga coverage by multi-platform press.  |

| Hi Thomas,
Delightful article and informative too, thanks!
I guess I've seen UAE a "million" times but never really thought about or knew what it meant (Unix Amiga Emulator) and the same for GCC 3.4 (Gnu C Compiler)
I also don't recall seeing the dimensions of the micro AmigaOne board (ITX-form-factor) before being a bit less than 6.75 in./17 cm.
For general information:
Those using Windows and FireFox browsers here (don't know about the Amiga browsers...yet) can get the "micro" µ ASCII code by pressing Alt+0181 on the keypad.

| I'm glad so many people are happy with the article - I did have two errors pointed out to me that I *should* have caught myself when I was proof reading it before I sent it off - I refer to the SX-1 as a SX-32 and misidentified Amithlon as AmigaXL.
Monitor magazine has been supportive of the Ottawa Amiga Show from the beginning - they have always made space in the magazine for a review and cover Amiga news (that I usually edit) as well. It may be even a bit of a surprise, considering the size of the Amiga user base in Ottawa, which I would guest to be around 10ish, maybe higher, but not by a whole lot. |

Richard didn't write E-UAE as such. UAE started its life on *nix and was ported to other platforms including Windows. The Windows version of UAE has been developed the furthest while the *nix version has been stagnating, so Richard updated UAE, added a few bits here and there and now maintains it under the name of E-UAE (to distinguish it from the original UAE). He is bringing it up to the level of WinUAE bit by bit.
And he's doing a sterling job by the way  |

The different naming is confusing and therefore has been heavily discussed at various Amiga forums. For the original UAE distribution developed for Unix systems, the following I believe to be correct:
UAE stands for UNIX Amiga Emulator, although the "U" originally stood for "Unusable" as in 1996 on a 90Mhz Pentium the emulation was still about one third as fast as a 7 MHz A1000 from 1985.
As UAE has now been ported to many different platforms, the "U" is now often said to stand for "Ubiquitous". |
