Amiga airbrushed from history

[cecilia]

it's more complicated than merely being avoid

many amiga users are creative people that used the Amiga as the art tool it is and then continued their careers with new tools. What they retained was that 'Amiga way' of working. And THAT requires a different documentary. I've always felt the Amiga needs it's own documentary to tell the whole story

Sure, acutally Bohuš was there to record it and should be putting it up at retrothing.com this week (at least that's what he just emailed me).

Bohuš is cool that way  

I like that blog, I should read it more often....

Hi,

See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8332640.stm


"I first sent an email in 1993 using an Amiga computer and dial-up modem. No one I knew had email at the time and most people I knew had no idea what the internet was, so I sent an email to the White House congratulating Bill Clinton on taking office. I was astonished to receive an automated reply thanking me for me interest in the US Presidency!

So the Amiga is still mentioned in the News.
