Title: Amigalogo in Matrox TripleHead2Go review
Post by: Enigma on June 04, 2006, 06:50:44 PM

Hello,

I was reading a review of Matrox TripleHead2Go on the site of ArsTechnica.com. On the second page i was struck by a picture.
Seems that the reviewer might be an Amiga Fan :-D
Here's the link: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/triplehead.ars/2

We're not alone.

Maybe he was the guy who reviewed the OS4 Amiga some time ago.

How so nadoom? It means the 'technical arts'.

Or are you so base that you parse the latin ars (art(s)) as arse/ass?

Nice find Enigma, I wish they still used the ticks and italic name for the logo.

The author is Jeremy Reimer.  He did indeed do a review titled The Micro-AmigaOne and Amiga OS4 Developer Prerelease (Update 1) (http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/amiga.ars), which is also linked to in his review of ZETA OS 1.0 (http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/zeta-1.0.ars/1).

From the Performance and conclusions (http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/zeta-1.0.ars/10) section of the Zeta review:

Don't know that I would completely agree, but at least it got a mention.

edit- changed an ambiguous statement
