8 AristotlePagaltzis 1 The story of the legendary [Amiga] began with two former [Atari] employees founding the company Hi-Toro in 1982. To avoid confusing them to a Japaneese lawnmower manufacturer they soon renamed to [Amiga], which means “female friend” in Spanish.

8 AristotlePagaltzis 3 After much trouble getting money for the project, including shady moves by [Atari], [Commodore] finally came through, founding the Commodore-Amiga Ltd subsidary in 1984. The Amiga 1000 was released only 11 months later but never took off due to its high price — it cost twice as much as an [Atari] ST. With the release of the Amiga 2000 and Amiga 500 in 1987 sales took off. Many chose the Amiga 500 when moving from 8-bit computers to 16-bit despite it being pricier than the [Atari] ST, and more and more games took advantage of the [Amiga]'s superior design.

9 AristotlePagaltzis 5 A lot of successes such as the [Amiga] 3000 followed, until failures like the CDTV, the last nail in the coffin of 16-bit home computers, finally led to an end in 1994. The name [Amiga] has lived on thanks to its dedicated fans, but although it has resurfaced multiple times, few of the anouncements about new [Amiga]-related products became reality. One of these false starts had [Linux] being touted as the new AmigaOS.

8 AristotlePagaltzis 7 With the new [PowerPC]-powered AmigaONE boards, things seem to be actually moving in the Amiga market now. It currently runs DebianLinux and a pre-release version of AmigaOS 4.
