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.
