Awesome post! Good luck, remember to get a bunch of AA batteries for that walkman because you will be needing it! I have heard that a movie called Back to the Future is coming out later this year, you know with the kid from Family Ties.

Wait, that guy who was in Midnight Madness?

An interesting perspective is the archive of InfoWorld magazines available on google books - the entire run from 1980? maybe before? to 2007.  There's a HUGE "Amiga" spike from '85 to '87, and it drops off precipitously after that, focusing solely on the Mac and PC.  From '82 or so onward there was little-to-zero "general" computing information and the focus of the mag is solely on business applications, which makes the Amiga information all the more interesting.

I wish there'd been a solid Office suite from MS for the Amiga, might have made a difference, if only a slight one.  But the first inkling of something more than "here's a bunch of DOS programs sold in the same box" wasn't until 1990, which was the beginning of the end of the Amiga in the US...sadly.

@B00tDisk

I emailed Bill Gates in the early nineties about porting office to Amiga.

I'm still waiting on a reply.

Wouldn't it be unexpected if he emailed you back "Okay, we'll port an early 90's MS office to the Amiga."
