DLH now has Amiga World magazines online

[runequester]

mirroring this on bit torrent might be a useful idea.

This is pretty rad though. Goes all the way back to 85. Was this a UK mag?

reading through the first issue made me slightly awestruck. Its hard to fathom just what a scifi monster the Amiga was in 1985

Awesome resource.  Thanks for the effort....

[Iceburg]

Great resource to have. It really is a step back in time.`I remember buying them at the news stand! DLH you might want to check the 3 special issues. I am getting error(14, 110) on all 3 of them.and i am running the latest version of Adobe Reader.  Mags have all worked great so far! Thanks DLH, you have a great site!

and even into the 90's i have various issues of many of these magazines. It was SO exciting to find one on a stand and take it home. And, of course, I had subs to many of them. i loved getting my jumpdisks!!

There was always something new to discover

A big thank you to DLH.

I wish I had bought your dvd set first and skipped the ebay ripoff artist.

With that in mind please take it easy when downloading. Bandwidth has increased to 50 to 120GB a day.

If bandwidth is an issue, maybe consider torrenting it?

Some fun observations after reading through 85, 86 and 87:

One of the first magazines expecting CD ROM's to be standard in a year or two (took what? 8 or 10 years before that happened)

Computer hardware was ungodly expensive in those days.

A 20 MB hard drive provides "limitless storage"

Holy crap 8 megs of RAM was expensive.

The amiga had a TON of business app's... database, word processors, spreadsheets, sound, graphics etc very quickly, but games were a bit slow in coming.

Lots of options for coders/programmers too.

Never thought about it but with kickstart in ROM, the 500 was actually a more powerful machine than the 1000 (512 kb of RAM).

Lots of angry people when the 2000 came out.

A time where magazines would talk about coding.



EDIT: Was poking around the site, and it looks like you have scans of other mags too, like Amazing Computing but no download links. Are these not up yet?

[DLH]

I will start posting the Amazing Computing Issues very shortly.
 
Busy week coming up for me.  Final acceptance testing on the system I just installed.  Lots of people coming in from out of town. I will have to see how things go...  It's been almost 2 months since I have been home.
 
Enjoy

No rush mate. You've done an amazing job so far.

Continuing my read (a lot of skimming, really) I am at August 1988.

There's been talk so far about 020 and even an 030 board (at 2000+ dollars, yikes) but seems not a ton of utility for them. The magazine has talked about the 020 a bit but it didn't seem to be a big deal, unlike the RAM race.

Mention just popped up of an upcoming A2500 and a few wish lists for what a 3000 might look like.

Sorry to Necro post...but where is Issue #104?

The Bombjack site is great but it does not have the actual LAST issue of Amiga World.

I know this one, as I have 2 copies of it (as I was the author of the 'Face to Face With Morph Plus' article in that issue (that was also the headliners for that issue). Issue 104.

Did that last issue not make it out to many people I wonder?

[Nlandas]

I think that DLH's site has one of the best collection of Commodore related material available.  He has now posted the first three volumes of Amiga World magazine.

   Wow amazing site. He should get some banner ads up on the sidebar to make some money to help support his work. Nice to see all that content not being lost.

I couldn't imagine a better surprise for the rainy week-end.
Just have to dig in it to find more information about my favorite system.
And so good to see articles about software I didn't know at all !

I vote the best site of 2011, I found this site from a link on Face book and have been stuck there for days. This is the best thing since sliced bread.
