“The original Amiga computer was a major technological
innovation in its time. Now, the Amiga is back. Bill McEwen,
President of Amiga, Inc., and Fleecy Moss, VP of Development,
interviewed by Daniel Robbins, give us insight into new Amiga and
explain why it’s one of the most exciting development platforms
available today.”

“Not only did the original Amiga computer have incredible
graphics and sound (thanks to its custom chips) but also an elegant
and lightweight multitasking operating system to boot. The new
Amiga’s hardware-independent technology bears little resemblance to
the original hardware-oriented computer. In fact, possibly the only
connection between the classic and the new Amiga is a common
determination to redefine computing technology as we know
it.
