Greetings all,
A long time Atari ST user, last year I was lucky enough to purchase a well maintained and cared for Amiga 500 system (expansions, all boxes, etc). Love it! A lot different from GEM but I love it nonetheless. Since I have the Ambury RGB to VGA converter for my STe, I need to pick up a VGA cable for my new baby, but I digress
I purchased from the son of the original (very active) Amiga owner from the late 80s/early 90s. I have posted a pic or two below.
I was finally going through all of the boxed software that he had (primarily all productivity apps and utilities) and found a great item - an autographed Ultracard signed by none other than the father of the Amiga himself!
What is funny is that the owner wrote the publisher a letter (which you can read below) telling them that even though he was happy Jay Miner stood behind it and autographed his copy at AmiExpo '89, he basically hated the product, lol
The owner had receipts for a lot of the software packages, letters, updates, etc that he kept very well organized. It has been a great adventure discovering all of this history!
What are everyone's thoughts about this? I think it is really cool. I am going to sell off all the productivity apps on eBay (as I want the A500 to game and compare to my ST collection), but may not part with the autographed Ultracard.
