Central Intelligence Agency: Price of Amigas in 1987 is a Secret
« on: September 30, 2014, 10:20:21 AM »
A FOIA request to the CIA has resulted in many documents, including one which redacts the price they payed for their 'first Amiga' in 1987.  (Saw the usual A500 picture next to the word CIA and thought it was a technology article; no such luck).  Not sure if interesting?

Looks like they've consolidated the library and the new version of the document no longer redacts the prices.  Interesting reading their almost palpable excitement for the possibilities the machines provided.
