Interview with Moya "Cammy" Jackie

[orb85750]

I can't read Japanese or French or what ever that was so I had to be content with the photos.

The English version was very readable.  Japanese?!?!

How we all react to a post about Cammy:

[PanterHZ]

Yes Cammy is indeed a very helpful person in the Amiga community :-)
It was also an interesting interview.

@Cammy

Great Interview, Congrax!

[ajlwalker]

Inspiring that someone who was so young when the Amiga was at it's peak, and still so young when Commodore died, can immerse themselves so deeply in Amiga.

It also shows how appealing the CD32 was for a lot of people.  If only Commodore hadn't been barred from importing all those hundreds of thousands of CD32s into the US, they may just have made enough money to carry on.

+1 for this wonderful interview.

@ Cammy

If you want, you could check out this *real* Amiga E compiler (no detour through C++) instead of "PortablE":

  ECX is an E Compiler written from scratch in E, it supports 68020+FPU
   and PowerPC CPUs, AmigaOS3, MorphOS and (experimental) AmigaOS4
   operating systems.

   High source as well as binary compatibility, together with many
   improvements over previous implementations of the language.

All the best!

Noooooo, that doesn't exist for AROS :shocked:

...but then again - what does? :p

PortablE does.

Enjoyed reading the interview, Spare Desk looked like a good piece of software, and I can admire Cammy's commitment to the Amiga. Thanks to both Cammy and Obligement for making the interview.

Great interview Cammy and so good to see some young blood back in the Amiga scene today!

btw, loved your response to the CUSA question:razz:

A future.

Great interview Cammy and so good to see some young blood back in the Amiga scene today!

I think you'd be surprised about the age range of people involved in the Amiga scene today, there's more than just a handful of 'youngsters'. For example, I'm only a year older than Cammy, plus I've seen posts from teenagers on Amiga forums over the last couple of years.

And I'm a mere 25 myself (shut up, that's young!) Though I imagine the older folks still handily outnumber the younger...

27 here.

I have one question for curiosity, Jackie Moya is of Spanish origin, because Moya is a spanish surname, for example as the several spanish sportsmen, Carlos Moya(tennis) Luis Moya (rallies).
