Mitchie, parfois orthographiée "Mitchy", est la chienne de Jay Miner, un croisement épagneul-cocker. Au lieu d'une signature, Mitchie a laissé une empreinte de sa patte. Jay Miner ne se séparait jamais de sa chienne et Mitchie disposait de son propre badge d'identification chez Commodore-Amiga Inc. Selon la légende, elle donnait son avis sur Jeux Amiga les puces et cartes créées par Jay Miner et quand elle les désaprouvait, Jay les retravaillait. La signature de Mitchie, du moins le dessin d'une patte de chien, est également présente sur le prototype Amiga Developer System .

La compagnie aérienne insista pour avoir un nom pour ce "passager" et l'équipe Amiga G, H, I, J, K, L, M, répondit alors "Joe Pillow". N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z En outre, les signatures de quelques personnes, ayant participé à la conception de la machine, manquent à l'appel. On peut par exemple citer Joseph Decuir, le premier employé d'Amiga Inc. en 1982, qui a apparemment quitté la société avant que Jay Miner ait eu l'idée de ces signatures. Il manque aussi Jim Mackraz (devices, bibliothèque graphique) et Trucs et astuces Bart Whitebook (bibliothèque graphique) mais il est possible qu'ils aient intégré l'équipe à une date ultérieure.

Stanza, an optionally- typed functional programming language aimed at helping programmers tackle the complexity of architecting large programs and increasing their productivity across the entire software development life cycle. Its design objectives arose out of our own frustrations with writing software, and we built Stanza to be a practical general-purpose language that resolves the problems we encounter in our daily work. Stanza was designed to write programs of appreciable complexity; where development time is spent primarily on managing this complexity; and where better tools for managing complexity can significantly improve programmer productivity.

Unless otherwise specified, all materials in this book are owned by the original copyright holder. PDF version of October 2007 This PDF is version 0 from 14 October 2007. The intent of this free downloadable college text book is to attempt to directly help poor and middle class students with the high cost of college text books by providing a high quality free alternative that can be used in the classroom for a subject that most college students are required to take. This free downloadable book is based on and includes materials from http://www.OSdata.com . Materials from OSdata.com have already been used in more than 300 colleges and universities around the world and have been quoted in studies and policy decisions by the U.S. Navy and the government of the Federal Republic of Germany. This is still a work in progress. Feedback and constructive criticism appreciated (especially feedback from professors who might want to use the finished book). While this book is still being written, professors are free to use specific chapters (or portions of chapters) as class handouts to supplement existing for-profit text books. This same policy will continue to apply after the book is completed, but this policy offers usefulness for many classes right now today even though the book is still incomplete. Poor students should not feel bad about using this book for free. You are exactly who this book is intended to help. You may optionally do volunteer work for the charitable organization of your choice (not political or religious activity — actual work for a charitable organization helping the poor, the elderly, the sick, the disabled, or the environment, etc.).

Dave had worked for Commodore at its West Chester, Pennsylvania, headquarters for eleven years as a hardware engineer. His job was to work on advanced products, like the revolutionary AAA chipset that would have again made the Amiga computer the fastest and most powerful multimedia machine available. But AAA, like most of the projects underway at Commodore, had been canceled in a series of cost-cutting measures, the most recent of which had reduced the staff of over one thousand people at the factory to less than thirty. "Bringing your camera on the last day, eh Dave?" the receptionist asked in a resigned voice."Yeah, well, they can't yell at me for spreading secrets any more, can they?" he replied. Dave took his camera on a tour of the factory, his low voice echoing through the empty hallways. "I just thought about it this morning," he said, referring to his idea to film the last moments of the company for which he had given so much of his life.

  • Rebol a Programmer’S Guide

There is no guarantee given that they will function once compiled, assembled or interpreted in the context of professional or commercial use.

Any reproduction, even partial, of the content, the cover or illustrations, by any means whatsoever (electronic, photocopier, tape or otherwise) is prohibited without written permission of the authors. Preface For many years the answer to the question “Which is the best book to learn Rebol?” has been Olivier Auverlot’s “Programmation Rebol”. As you probably guessed from the title, it’s written in French. Soon after it was published late in 2001, work started on a translation. It was even listed with a publication date on Amazon.com. Sadly, it has yet to see the light of day. At the beginning of 2007, Olivier published “Rebol - Guide du programmeur”. I hoped for news of a translation; but none came. It seemed that the only option was going to be to read the book in French. So why not translate the book myself? Translating “Rebol - Guide du programmeur” has been most enjoyable. Olivier’s writing is eloquent and informative. His command of Rebol shines through. I learned a lot whilst translating the book, some Rebol and some French. I hope you will too, though perhaps not so much French as me.

  • Storia Di Amiga
    Storia di Amiga Tratto dal sito Mytobox di Riccardo Valletta, revisione generale e aggiornamento a cura di Gianluca Giusti. Era il 1982, quando tre dottori fondarono con un consistente investimento di sette milioni di dollari la Hi-Toro, società diretta alla produzione di accessori legati alla crescente popolarità del mercato video ludico delle console. I tre intraprendenti soggetti però parallelamente al procedere della loro società, stavano sviluppando una nuova console da gioco a sedici bit, costruita intorno all'allora velocissima CPU Motorola 68000. I dilemmi erano tanti, se seguire una via molto di moda in quegli anni, cioe' di dotare la futura macchina di elementi quali tastiera e possibilità di aggiornamento (chi si ricorda le tante espansioni create in quegli anni per l'intellivision della Mattel sa di cosa parlo) o se rilasciare una semplice console senza tanti fronzoli. In quel momento nessuno avrebbe poi potuto immaginare un capovolgimento di interesse nel campo ludico dalle console ai computer, cosa che avvenne in Europa e negli USA alla meta degli anni ottanta. La progettazione fu affidata a tre grandi dell'epoca, Jay Miner proveniente da Atari, Dave Morse dalla Tonka, nota azienda produttrice di giocattoli e dalla Williams, RJ Mical, quest'ultimo pero' subentro a lavori iniziati ed entrato a far parte del team software insieme a Carl Sassenrath, Dave Needle e Bob Burns. Il progetto venne per molto tempo tenuto segreto, arrivando a dare a i chip custom dei nomi di donna, Agnus, Daphne e Paula. Questi tre chip alleggerivano molto il lavoro della CPU, ma nell'stesso tempo rendevano l'architettura di Amiga abbastanza complessa.
