ars technica has a great posting on the Amiga
« on: August 01, 2007, 11:41:10 PM »
It's a two parts, and this is the first installment.. for those who haven't lived and breathed Amiga for years, this give some insight on the history of the platform. Well written and easy to follow, by Jeremy Reimer with pictures.

Quite a few hits on Digg.com about this.

If you take off the "/2", you get the read the prologue part at the beginning instead of waiting for it to wrap around.

Great article, good writing, mostly dead on accurate, and it has a ton of background info that the average user would not have known.  Can't wait for the second installment.

Great article, can't wait for the rest.

Have to agree that it would be nice to have the link go to the prologue first. :-)

Anyone care to share the PDFs? I do not want to create another useless account just to read a story at my own leisure, offline.

Thanks,
