- This all brings one big piece of trivia to mind...In the EARLY, EARLY, EARLY
- days of Compute! does anyone remember reading the article about the new
- computer being designed that eventually became the Amiga? I remember they
- talked some about the likelyhood of it's becoming part of the Atari stable.
- Anyway....can anyone tell me what the 'working' name for the Amiga was? hint:
- Amiga was part of the name (I think Amiga might have been the name of the
- group/company who developed it)????
