Right : In french Amiga should be a female word too (french is derivated from latin too and had lots in common with spanish) but in fact it is masculine.
That is because we talk about "un ordinateur Amiga" and ordinateur (=computer) is masculine.
Note that a "console" is feminine... so "Un Amiga est un ordinateur pas une console de jeu"
Amiga the only female computer
