A Short Introduction to the
Interesting WWW Links
Chapter VII: Computers
I happen to own and like Amiga computers, which perhaps aren't as
popular as PCs or Macs, but which still look pretty nifty even as
there hasn't been much development in last few years.
- Amiga Web
Directory
- Comprehensive resource for Amiga information
- World Wide Amiga Online!
- Another good starting point for Amiga information
- The Ubiquitous Amiga
Emulator (UAE)
- brings the joy of Amiga software on PCs, Macs and Unix boxes.
The other system with which I can come along well is various UNIX
variants.
