The story of the Amiga family of microcomputers is akin to that of a musical
band that breaks up after one incandescent, groundbreaking album: the band may
be forgotten by many, but the cognoscenti can discern its impact on work
produced decades later. So the Amiga 30 event held at Silicon Valley's Computer
History Museum in late July was more than a commemoration of some interesting
technology of the past. It was also a celebration of the Amiga's persistent
influence on personal computing. The Amiga was easily 10 years ahead of its
time. Too bad the good ones rarely win. This is also a good moment to repost
the 8-part series on the Amiga at Ars.
