Come join us for a celebration of the Amiga, its groundbreaking
accomplishments and its rich history at the Computer History Museum -
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/890300835/amiga-30th-an niversary-in-california
On July 23rd, 1985, the world was introduced to the Commodore Amiga
Computer. This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the Amiga's launch and
to commemorate that seminal event in computer history we are throwing a
party.
Join us on Saturday, July 25th, in a celebration of the amazing Amiga. Our
party will feature an evening of epic Amiga Fun. The event will be a
banquet with feature speakers, panel discussion, historical artifact
displays, and more.
The main event for the banquet will be a panel discussion of original
Amiga developers including:
Dale Luck
Carl Sassenrath
Dave Needle
RJ Mical
Plus more
The panel topics will cover start-up life in 1985, building the Amiga
1000, and how the Amiga influenced technology over the last 30 years.
Additional speakers will include:
* Trevor Dickinson, co-founder of A-EON Technology, makers of next
generation Amiga systems and software.
* Colin Proudfoot, Former Managing Director of Commodore Business Machines
(UK)
* Mike Battilana, Founder CEO of Cloanto, maker of the Amiga Forever
emulation software.
We will also have video presentations including a special extended clip
from the upcoming "Viva Amiga" documentary video [produced] by "Viva
Amiga" producer Zack Weddington.

I'm one of the "keeping their machines running" mob, have an Amiga 1200
that I'm modding to an "Amiga 1700"... which is essentially hacking the
1200 board into a 500 case to bag extra room for upgrades, lights and fans,
the newest upgrade being adding a buffered IDE board to drive both the CF
hard drive and a slimline laptop CD drive. A USB interface is on the agenda
next and when I'm finally finished I'll paint the case matte black (have
already swapped the beige keys out for black ones from a CDTV keyboard!).
