Fill you with Amiga knowledge? That's a big request Vic because the Amiga has quite a bit of complexity in it's hardware and multitasking OS. If you are the techy type, then you might want to read some of the books on the Amiga. One is the "Amiga 500/2000 Technical Reference Manual" from Commodore. Another one is the "Amiga System Programmer's Guide" from Abacus. Both give a pretty good technical description of how the Amiga hardware and software works. There is also a videotape you can get from IDG Communications (AmigaWorld Magazine) called "The Amiga Primer". From the advertisement it is a 90 min tape that covers AmigaDos 2.0, AmigaVision, CLI, Workbench, Peripherals, and utilities. I believe AmigaWorld is in the process of making a video tape that covers the history of the Amiga from it's inception to the present, but not sure exactly what it will cover. One of the editors, Lou Wallace, gets on here occasionally and perhaps he can give you some more details. To tell you all about the Amiga will take some time here on CompuServe, so if you have some specific questions, I will try to help as much as possible.
