Great articles. Although a little bit more open minded would be nice.
Everything the Amiga guys did wasn't the best thing since sliced bread.

Jeremy, you have become a real Amiga fanatic.

It's interesting, but, Jay Miner's dog making design decisions ? I think that must be what they call a shaggy dog story. Also, I know what a breadboard is, those custom chips are wire wrap unless I'm badly mistaken.

True.

When jay Miner was not sure of a circuitry design into a chip, then he asked his dog, Mitchy.

When the dog barked and was quite happy, then Jay kept safe the circuitry in the chip.

If Mitchy was annoyed, or growled and snarled, then Jay re-designed that circuitry from scratch.

Yes, these were wire-wrap, a bit more reliable than breadboards, this fact was pointed into the discussion on ars technica site.

Another good installment.

You forgot the Debbie Harry & Andy Warhol bit though.

Shouldn't that be in the next installment with Commodore and the official launch of A1000?

Nice story.

But 90 hours a week? Only paid 40 hours!!!

Since I know what management, presidents and stock holders earn for doing absolutely nothing I would say; not even when hell freezes over.

It means we like accuracy in articles written about the amiga? You know the world is trying to rewrite the history of computers and leave the history of amiga out.
