Hi there. Welcome to my little corner of the Universe.

This site is under construction.

For now, you can find my This Old Workbench articles here.

These articles were originally published in Amazing Computing.

Sadly, Amazing Computing appears to be gone, like so many other Amiga entities. Amazing Computing was a magazine dedicated to covering the Amiga Market. In fact, it was the longest running Amiga Magazine, and the only full color Amiga Magazine in North America.

The Amiga is a strange and wonderful computer, originally introduced by Commodore.

For a long dry spell, Amiga Inc., a subsidiary of Gateway, owned the Amiga.

Another Year, Another Owner, Dept.

But wait! The plot thickens! Now The Amiga has been sold once again, this time to Amino Development (now Amiga Corporation). Head honcho Bill McEwen seems a lot more clued in about the Amiga than Gateway. Of course, that's not saying much. We'll see what comes out of this. Wonder who'll own the Amiga next year?

Since it's origin in 1985, the Amiga has featured a preemptive multitasking OS, a powerful command line interpreter, or shell, an easy to use mouse/icon/Window GUI, and a custom audio/video chipset capable of displaying thousands of colors (Keep reminding yourself, this was in 1985!).
