Amiga
n
A series of personal computer models originally sold by Commodore, based on
680x0 processors, custom support chips and an operating system that
combined some of the best features of Macintosh and Unix with compatibility
with neither.
The Amiga was released just as the personal computing world standardized on
IBM-PC clones. This prevented it from gaining serious market share, despite
the fact that the first Amigas had a substantial technological lead on the
IBM XTs of the time. Instead, it acquired a small but zealous population of
enthusiastic hackers who dreamt of one day unseating the clones (see {Amiga
Persecution Complex}). The traits of this culture are both spoofed and
illuminated in The BLAZE Humor Viewer. The strength of the Amiga platform
seeded a small industry of companies building software and hardware for the
platform, especially in graphics and video applications (see {video
toaster}).
Due to spectacular mismanagement, Commodore did hardly any R&D, allowing
the competition to close Amiga's technological lead. After Commodore went
bankrupt in 1994 the technology passed through several hands, none of whom
did much with it. However, the Amiga is still being produced in Europe
under license and has a substantial number of fans, which will probably
extend the platform's life considerably.
