Title: The original Amiga Team reunion (of sorts)
Post by: jedi on June 26, 2007, 04:59:50 PM
A sympathetic email of Carl Sassenrath (author of the language REBOL and Manager of AmigaOS and Amiga CDTV system development in years 80-90) informs us that a great part of the original Amiga Team met last week for the marriage of one of his collaborators Dale Luck.

(congrats Dale!)

The happy event, which was held at the Pulgas Water Temple (the source in water of San Francisco, California), was fixed by this unique photo (http://www.rebol.com/photos/amiga-team-2007.jpg) and this article (http://www.rebol.com/article/0339.html) published on Carl's REBOL Blog (http://www.rebol.com/cgi-bin/blog.r).

We can see from left to right, front row:

Glenn Keller - HW: Paula chip
Dave Needle - HW: Agnus chip, system boards

And back row:

Carl Sassenrath - SW: Exec kernel
Dale Luck - SW: Graphics (and here, groom)
Sam Dicker - SW: Sound
RJ Mical - SW: Intuition (GUI)
Bob Burns - SW: Printers & input devices
Hedley Davis - HW: "Representing" Commodore

Unfortunately it miss Jay Miner, Team Leader and deceased in 1994, and many others who helped make Amiga possible.

It would be wonderful if this 'dream team' could meet again in other circumstances !

That's pretty neat. It's cool those guys still keep in contact. The Sassenblog has more neat Amiga team details.

Do we know what those other guys are doing now? Besides getting married?

I wonder if any of them pop in amiga sites to see what's going on...

@ Keropi,

Only if they felt the need to be disgusted.

"Sympathetic" email from Carl S.

Was he sympathetic about his friend having the ball and chain attached at the ankle, or sympathetic to us by sending a bit of Amiga nostalgia our way?  :lol:

Dale has cleaned up nicely since I last saw him at the Vintage Computer Festival 9.0.  :-D

Dale, if you read this, congratulations on your marriage, and I'll see you at VCF 10.0.
