The "NEW" AmigaLounge


Blog Page PET VIC TED LAB STORE My Collection ABOUT ME coming soon Disclaimer: All the information presented here, was taken from the following sources: Brain Bagnal's Book On the Edge: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore. Available at Amazon.ca The new edition had been delayed at Amazon until Feb.2010 Also, a lot of information has come from Video interviews with Bil Herd and Dave Haynie. Dave has a lot of videos on You-Tube. Search them out.. I wish I could post them here, but I don't have permission. Lastly, more sites on the net have information. There are even a few dedicated sites to the C16. Do a Goggle search, because Bing is just a flash in the pan.:) Please help keep the lounge alive and donate Today.Your donation helps keep an Computer from ending up in a Landfill, and keeping the history Alive for future generations!	last update June 17,2010 It's all at the blog people... Also, I have updated the Amiga/ Hi-Toro page. I recieved a facinating e-mail from Marty Goldberg who was part of the Atari/ Amiga negotiations. Marty was kind enough to set the record straight on what happened back then. The truth is just as facinating as the myth, so I have left both intact. One thing is for sure, the Story of the Amiga (Both fact and fiction) is a facinating tale. Not much hardware these days have that much story behind them (unless you are Foxconn...) May 16,2010 Well, going by the server logs, a whole bunch of you are not going to the BLOG . The blog is the page with all the updates, not here. Infact, I just may kill this page and redirect traffic to the blog all together. From what I can see, people are just glancing at the date and moving on. But most people wont actually read this blurb, because it doesn't have any pictures they can hotlink too. Also I have to laugh at all the PHP script kidies out there looking for my "So called" php pages. Guess what? You can try all day long and you won't find any php, peril or any other script pages here on mysite kiddies. it's all "OLD SCHOOL" HTML. Last, I tip my hat to the "Die hard" RSS and ATOM people that still try to hit this site a few THOUSAND times a day. It sure brings a smile to my face, seeing people who are too lazy to actually check why there is no feeds. last update: April 13, 2010 I have been busy Making the pages on the website, and "The Lab" home page is up and runing also. Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress and will change daily. If you have a moment, please consider donating a "Buck or Two" this will donation will really go a long way in restoring this site. Again to this date $0 has been donated to the Lounge. Only YOU can get the ball rolling! The Paypal Link /donate button is at the bottom of the page and on the Left hand side at the bottom. If you are still you are wondering where the ATOM and RRS feeds are, you are S.O.L for now. If I see $100 in donations (no, not all at once, in total), the feeds will be back up and running- I will make that a prority. For now you will just have to keep checking back. Because of Massive amounts of "Hotlinking" retards, I am only posting My Photos, of my Collection here. Until I can figure out a way to curb or educate people on Hotlinking, My photos will suck. April 8 2010 If you can see this page, we are on the right track. The last few days, the site was redirected to BLOG.AMIGALOUNGE.COM. Normally that would be ok, but it wasn't showing the pictures I have on that site. If you want to read my blog, click the button on the left hand side. I shouldn't have to direct you to it, but it does work. The other links will be up and running as soon as I can get to them. In the mean time, please be patient, it will all come together soon. April 5 2010. The New Amiga Lounge is coming really soon. Unfortantly, Blogger has given me no choice and made me rush this site out to you, There will no longer be RRS or atom feeds,and the archives are toast. for now. I am sorry for the state of construction, just keep checking back. hopefully all the insanity will be cleared up really soon. I really hate to ask for donations, but really, it all comes down to you. If you enjoy this site, and the content it has to offer, Please consider donating a buck or two, the donation goes a really long way in preserving this site (not to mention getting my high speed internet back). DId you know that to date, NOT $1 has been donated to the lounge! This really says a lot about fellow amigains! My old TRS-80 site had a few hundred dollars a year in donations, and the vistors to this site far exceed that almost by 10 to 1. The more donations come in, the faster this site can be up and functional. Please help keep the lounge alive and donate Today.Your donation helps keep an Amiga from ending up in a Landfill, and keeping the history Alive for future generations!
