2 new articles for you at AmigaWorld.org
« on: October 31, 2003, 04:39:42 PM »
Today we have released 2 articles. One about Jay Miner, the father of Amiga. We have the official login to Jay Miners BBS too. The other is a Amiga Guide wich is under expansion at the moment. It will give a easy brief of how nice Amiga is for people not knowing anything about what Amiga computer is.

31.10: Jay Miner and me
http://www.amigaworld.org/JayMiner.html

31.10: Amiga Guide #1
http://www.amigaworld.org/GuideToAmiga.html

Happy reading!

Regards,
Michal

I liked the Jay Miner story, but the Amiga Guide was not really a true guide though..the Installation of the OS said nothing on how to install it just told you in a nutshell, go buy the OS, install it.  As for the hardware, even that is not correct.  You're telling people to install a PCI Voodoo 3 card yet how can you do that with a bare bones A1200, A3000, A4000 ?Needs to be revised.   Sorry to sound so rough on ya though!

I agree - the Jay Miner story was cool to read, but the guide was of limited use, to say the least! (sorry)

The Guide is not ment to be a Guide for the advanced Amiga user. Its a promotional guide. I am expanding it and improoving it at the moment. A AmigaOS installation guide would be far, far more interesting for Amiga users. This is comming later on.

The screenshot of logging into Padre's bbs that was using Skyline BBS software brings back a lot of fond memories.

I had used Skyline since it was first called Atredes, and later called Omnilink. I had become a beta tester of the software and had a ball with it and Skypix, the graphics protocol. It was a great preview of what would later be seen on the internet.

One of the nicest things about running a BBS on the Amiga is that PC hackers couldn't drop it to DOS and reformat the hard drive. One kept trying for over a week on mine and I made an ANSI-bomb that was ready to reprogram his  DOS-based PC (keyboard scramble and blanking screen, etc).  I was the only computer running a BBS in the city that could stonewall him. And I owe it all to having an Amiga.  :-D
