RE: Amiga scrapbook… Missed the January issue, eh?
I got the April issue of AW in the mail on Friday. That was the last one. 🙁
Yes, I might've… did they do it already? 🙂
Yep, something very similar to what you proposed. I wrote it… 🙂
What, and you didn't ask me for quotes, background, or historical unique
photos? 🙂 If I was writing such a thing, I surely would've called you.
John,
Nothing personal. 🙂 Due to a tight deadline and limited space, only
ex-Commodore people were interviewed.
Did you bump into anyone who claimed they were working on the "history of the
decline and fall of the Amiga" book?

I know a couple of people talking about a collaboration for something along
these lines. What do you know?

It's always been hot-air rumors, I think. I've been hearing them since Dave
Morse left Amiga Corp., which would be back in 1987 or so. 🙂 I think
AmigaWorld came the closest in the form of a video, but I've never seen that.
Now that CBM is dead and gone, more people might talk, so the book could get
interesting, if not libelous.
I've got AmigaWorld's "History of the Amiga" video. It's worth a look. I
was particularly interested in seeing the prototype Lorraine boards. After
following the rumors of the machine at the time, I finally got to see the
originals. 🙂 Now I've got to order Dale's tape to go with it.

John,
Nope. I'd heard rumor of one about a year ago, but nothing since then. If there
was someone in the company who really knew all, it'd certainly be an
interesting study in corporate mismanagement…
Denny –
I've got you're Bible Right next to me "Best Amiga Tips and Secrets". A great
book. I will very much miss your articles in AmigaWorld – they are/were
certainly a highlight for me. Well written and interesting, too! Kind of a
drag, all this . . .

Thanks very much, Steve!
This is all a _definite_ drag. I'm pessimistic at this point, but I still
_hope_ that something comes out of this and that I can eventually find a new
outlet for my column.

Denny,
All this makes me pretty pessimistic, too. Then something happens like it did
today at work.
I'm a DP professional and end up mentioning Amiga alot to people I work with, I
don't really think about it unless they laugh then I let then have it.
So this guy (no Amiga experience) walks up to me today and starts talking about
this really neat show he saw on PBS and how great the stuff they were doing was
and how I really should've seen it. It was a show on VR and how they were doing
the whole thing with Amigas and they made a point of showing that.
It made me a little less pessimistic 'today'.

PS. Probably someone one of us on the forum knows or someone on the forum?
re: PBS show on VR featuring Amiga's
I saw something similar on the Discovery channel (I think Beyond 2000 or Next
Step ). It seem like it was British. When they featured the VR system, they
should these kids writing the software. The woman mentioned w/ her british
accent that they used the "popular Commodore Amiga" computer w/ modified GRFX
chips. The term "popular Commodore Amiga" convinced me more that the show was
british than the woman's accent!
I also saw Todd Rundgren featured on one of the above shows for his interactive
album for CD-i. He was in a room chock full of toasters. Funny to think that
Todd probably has more Amigas than most Dealers today. ;D
