Amiga Folklore

I don't know if any of you read folklore.org but I think it would be cool if there was one for Commodore based computers.   People could share stories that others may not have heard and perhaps Commodore Employees would post too?

Just a thought.

BTW:  This is my favorite folklore.org article about Andy Hertzfeld and Microsoft trying to get 'multitasking' on the MacOS.  (http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Switcher.txt&sortOrder=Sort+by+Date)

From the article:

the small memory footprint of the Microsoft apps would continue to be advantageous, since their lower memory requirements meant that more of them could run concurrently, and users could put together customized application suites on their own.


Truly from a different era of computing! :lol:
