Preserving Amiga History: A New Software Archive

[@tekk9995]

Wonderful! Thanks!

[@AmigaLove]

Glad you liked it! And thanks for checking in and watching.

[@bradhansen2065]

Wow! Major work, thank you.

[@AmigaLove]

Thanks, Brad. I appreciate it. It's taken a really long time to get this far and it kinda feels like it could stretch on for years to flesh it out completely. But I'm very proud of it even in its infancy. Cheers

There are more of us Amigans out there lurking in the shadows than you know! Thank you!

I love DMS format, like ADF LZX max compressed DISK SMASHER!

[@AmigaLove]

Haha! Right on

[@A.E.Konietzky]

This is freaking awesome.

[@AmigaLove]

I'm so glad you see the potential power of this archive. It's so much more than just some downloads sitting on a server somewhere. Love your comment - thank you!

[@MichalBergseth-AmitopiaTV]

Me and the entire Amitopia Amiga Magazine support You!

[@AmigaLove]

You made my day - cheers Michal!! Really appreciate it.

@@AmigaLove This is what I try to do with AmiFox, AmiTube, AmiTranslate etc.. making Amiga machines useable. Your archive works amazingly on any Amiga with 8MB RAM and a Hard Drive, using AmiFox. Easy to download PDs and more to your Amiga. We share the same goals :) let the computing continue to be fun.

Why is my account frozen?

[@AmigaLove]

@@RasVoja Which account?

[@SledgeFox]

This is amazing! With my A-1000 came a multitasking demo named Fred the baker if I remember correctly, I never found it anywhere and I lost that disk long ago. So, every archiving process is so important, thank you cery much! Have a great day!

[@AmigaLove]

Thank you, @sledgefox. There are so many odd little programs like the one you describe lost to the sands of time. I'm finding more and more I'd never seen or heard off - really early days stuff before Demos were even a thing (besides the boing ball or juggler, that is). Things we'd look at now as "cute" but at the time... we forget how *shocking* even the simple demos were in 1985/1986 compared to what other computers could do. Time to remember! =)

[@SledgeFox]

@AmigaLove absolutely, have a great weekend and thank you very much for taking the time for such a detailed and nice answer!

[@RasVoja]

Great! Personal history should be preserved, QL has it, Macintosh Garden has for Classics, Amiga and Atari and maybe ZX are in danger?

[@AmigaLove]

It is a start with a long way to go. But I believe this is a fantastic foundation. Thank you for your support!
