Title: Powering up the past: Ars goes hands-on with the Amiga 500
Post by: Pyromania on July 30, 2015, 10:02:28 PM

From the Ars Technica Article

"Last week marked the 30th anniversary of Amiga, the PC line from Commodore that tried to fight the growing IBM PC hegemony in the spirit of the Commodore 64. And despite being unaware of the Amiga's birthday, I somehow managed to recently publish two brief tours of landmark computers from the 1980s: the Apple II Plus, which I had rescued from my parents' attic, and the TRS-80 Model 100, which I won on eBay with a bid of $35. This sparked an e-mail from Ars reader Dave Hough, and the subject line said it all: "would you like another old computer - amiga 500."

The owner of that 500 liked to sit by the window it looks like :)

He should have painted it or used RetroBright.
