Since we alread did Carl Sassenrath and Dave Haynie we now have lined up a 'new oldie' for you ...
Guy Wright:
"I don't know if anyone would be interested in hearing anything I have to say about Commodore, the Amiga, or CDTV (being somewhat on the peripheral), but I was one of the team members on the CDTV project and did produce the first Welcome Disc (yes it was me who forgot to delete that invoice and a font set that Commodore had to pay for, and my name is in the ROMs you can see with that convoluted cookie). For those old enough to remember, I was Technical Editor and Technical Manager of RUN Magazine in 1983 and then later, founding Editor-in-Chief of AmigaWorld Magazine.
I'm not really a hard-core hardware person, couldn't tell you how to re-build a motherboard or things like that, but for what it's worth, I wrote a lot about the Amiga and was close to a lot of the people before and after the Amiga launch. "
Submit your questions ... :-)

Hi,
You did the welcome disc for the CDTV and started the one for the CDTV CR but why not the CD32?
Why didnt Commodore want a nice snazzy welcome disc for the CD32?
Also fancy giving a list of everything Commodore Amiga relaited you own?
I know you have a CDTV CR, CR welcome disc but what else? Amiga Nyx? CD32 CR? ;-)

How long did you work at Commodore ? ... who did you work with ? ... and who was the weirdest college you had during your time at Commodore ?
-
How do you view the passion that some people have, even now, for the Amiga? Do you share that passion to any extent?
-
Why was the cdtv put into the world as a games machine / toy? , it seems no one took it serious untill very late (too late) of the time it was available.
why was'nt the Cdtv based around KS2.x ? , since amiga3000 was allready the next big thing at commodore, but cdtv was launched with ks1.2/1.3 and a special ??1.4 rom??
How was it to be a part of the worlds first cd driven gamestation? / multimedia box / commodore's most sexy creation ever.
-
what is the first thing to pop out of your head when you hear the name "CDTV" ?
or even "Amiga" ?
or Commodore ?
-
Do you follow what's happening in the Amiga community today? AmigaOne / Pegasos / AROS / Amithlon / WinUAE. If so, what do you feel about it all?
-
What do you currently work with?
Do you work on any projects (private or otherwise) that's related to the Amiga or any of its current offsprings (MorphOS etc).
-
Having worked both at Commodore and at computer magazines, did your views on C= change when you worked on AmigaWorld
Did C= provide enough information to the press?
Was there a widespread "keep it secret" attitued on C=, even among the employees?
