Amiga.org looking for historical postings and announcements
« on: March 09, 2004, 04:20:54 PM »
In preparation of a new section of the Web site, we're now combing through old SQL backups, old file backups and about anything else we can find about the last few years.  Our intention is to open a historical column where we'd post all these old critical announcements in one place for the purposes of researching the history of our community and what we've gone through.

We need your help.

We know that you're all packrats.  We know that you have this old stuff squirreled away on your hard drive for a rainy day.

I'm not really talking about "History of the Amiga" type stuff which has been covered in abundance on other sites, but anything you might have sitting dormant on your hard drive which documents the announcements by everyone from Commodore to the Gateway era, all the way through Amiga Inc.

Things like the "Gateway has purchased Amiga" announcement, or the "OS4 will happen in 2001" announcements.

We would appreciate ANY help that you can offer in recreating that which was destroyed by hackers in the old versions of Amiga.org's history.

Jim Collas didn't "jump off" he was fired when he wanted more control over the Amiga situation than Gateway Ted was willing to allow.
