You can't be accurate when you have to deal with a broader, mainstream audience. People must be able to understand what's written there, so you can speak technically, but not-so technically to be appreciated.

Anyway, articles like this one make always feel me nostalgic, but on the other hand let me think how lucky current coders are, and how crazy/heroic old ones were, having to deal with problems that are currently resolved by libraries... or by suggesting users to buy better hardware.


I haven't read this specifically but I don't agree. you either avoid technical information OR you put factually correct technical aspects in an article. There is no middle ground really.....if I see a glaring mistake in a technical aspect how do I know the research for the whole article was done properly.

I've read their history of Amiga, and to be honest there are some real stinkers and confusion of chipset revisions of over half a decade like the difference between what 1987 A500 had compared to A1000 and A500Plus/A600 true ECS chipset so I can imagine ;)
