On this topic, I've got Topaz and the 'Amiga Forever' fonts (that latter has a nice true type boing ball in it).

Has anyone got a proper font in the style of the old embossed 'Amiga' from A500s, and/or the later Amiga Technologies style equivalent?  I'd like to use them for a couple buttons/banners/general web graphics ...

You should name the laptop

"Miggy Miner"

Morris Minor's were called moggy minors in the UK, change moggy to miggy for amiga, swap the o for an e in mino/er then you have a classic amiga pun.

Errr, yeah that kinda works I guess ... a '58 Moggy was my first car, too (850cc of raw surging power).
