Yes, of course I did too :-)

If anybody here didn't choose Jay Miner..well, what the hell are you doing here than?!  :-D  :-P

Just voted as well, nice to see that he's leading the poll at the moment.  :-D

Which other Amiga creators should be nominated, then again it might look a little odd if too many Amiga "names" appeared on the list at once!   ;-)

I voted also.

In the box at the bottom, there is an option to nominate someone,

everyone, vote for my former lecturer Duncan Smeed, as creator of the bios for the old Dragon computer systems.

To top it all off, he had a run in with Mr Gates, reason enough to vote for him.

I voted for Mitchy, after all the work Jay did with the development of the Amiga it was Mitchy who approved the designs and gave the seal of approval.  In all honesty, Jay should be in the Hall of Fame since back to 83 or even 82 for some of his work in the past.  Jay did a lot more for computers than just Amiga.  Though if it wasn't for Jay, we wouldn't have such an amazing fanatical "fanboy" group of zealots like we have now.  Imagine that.

:pint: :-D
