Publications : A history of the Amiga, part 1: Genesis
Posted by ssolie on 2007/8/1 18:02:46 (2045 reads) News by the same author

Jeremy Reimer has published the first in a series of articles on the history of the Amiga over on ars technica.

After chatting with Jeremy in IRC I believe these are the articles that are going to be chapters in his upcoming Amiga history book which will be ultimately published both in electronic and paper forms.

Make sure to send in your corrections because I'm 100% sure some Amiga fan will complain about something in there.

Hey Jeremy,

Found a typo:
"There are many also many books and documentaries about the early days of the personal computing industry."


I thought I'd just skim through the first few paragraphs (having lived through it), however I found that I couldn't stop till I got to the end!!!!


What's shocking is that there are so FEW people that steered the entire industry, while there are countless thousands that actually DID the R&D to create these things (the CPUs, material scientists, component designers, etc.)

I would just like to point out that the link was originally sent to me (thus my posting of it in the forums) by a coworker and friend who is NOT an Amiga user.
