Amiga mentioned in Computing
« on: October 16, 2003, 03:46:24 PM »
Commodore and the Amiga are mentioned in this weeks' Computing ("slightly dull" IT industry mag).  However, unfortunately only in the 30th anniversary section under year highlights.

P52 1985 Happy days Commodore launches the revolutionary Amiga
P74 1994 Commodore dies Commodore Computers collapses - gone but not forgotten.

That's why it's only "slightly dull" rather than just plain "dull".  I only ever read Backbytes in most circumstances (and only then when I have nothing better to do)

Backbytes rocks.

Unfortunately I haven't got this weeks Computing yet as here where I work (in Hatfield) we seem to be affected by a postal strike. (which I thought was only affecting London)

Never mind, I can wait until tomorrow. In the meantime I've still got IT Week.

We don't have the paper copy yet either, but they moved me onto an electronic subscription (for reasons unknown to me) so I've taken a look at the PDF version.
