Workbench November 2002 Issue 186 Microsoft & Amiga Join Forces !! Workbench November 2002 Issue 186 Microsoft & Amiga Join Forces !! Previously thought of as a match that would never happen, Microsoft and Amiga Inc. have become partners in distributing Amiga DE applications. “Amiga has partnered with Microsoft to create the best experience for gamers and entertainment on Smartphone devices”, said Bill McEwen, CEO of Amiga. “We have been an early adopter of Microsoft Windows for Smartphones because of our belief it can revolutionize the mobile experience. With our new App Pak technology, users can access applications on their PDA or Smartphone without having to install them from their personal computer.” Microsoft will work to distribute Amiga Inc. DE applications through Microsoft’s sale channels, with all proceeds going to both Amiga Inc. and DE developers directly. The target market will be Windows enabled smartphones and PDA’s (personal digital assistants). At the moment PDA’s are priced more to the business user but new powerful models with 64 megabytes of memory are on the horizon. These new models will have a more “Gameboy Advance” type retail pricing and thus should be more readily taken up by consumers. Plus the power of the new models will enable more complex software ideally suited to the Amiga DE. Microsoft execs were shocked and amazed at an Amiga DE demo performed by Amiga Inc. CEO Bill McEwen. Microsoft and their partners had never envisioned such a thing possible as a high quality “App Pak” that can simply be plugged into a PDA or Smartphone. All their previous efforts were centered around downloading software from a CD in a PC and that was the best they could achieve. Does all this have any negative effect on Amiga OS 4? No according to Hyperion. Hyperion have written a watertight contract that will enable OS 4 development to go ahead. Even if Amiga Inc.were to go belly up or be bought out, OS 4 development would remain firmly in Hyperion’s hands.

    Amiga.org.pl komputer Amiga współcześnie Spis treści AMIGA legenda informatyki 2 Retro 4 Emulacja 6 Współczesna Amiga nowej generacji 11 MorphOS 17 AROS 24 Amiga dzisiaj Zainteresowanie komputerem Amiga jest nieprzemijające. Niezależnie od tych, którzy mają Amigę “od zawsze”, biegnie współcześnie jej nieprzerwany rozwój, i to wielotorowo. Oprócz tego możemy cieszyć się różnymi hobbystycznymi rozwinięciami, pozwalającymi w sposób bardziej wygodny korzystać z rozrywki w formie retro. Amiga dzisiaj to “amigowanie”, wielka różnorodność i wiele smaków 1 Amiga retro AMIGA legenda informatyki AMIGA - pierwszy na świecie komputer multimedialny. Premiera w 1985 r. Wcześniej były inne innowacyjne konstrukcje (np. firmy Xerox czy Lisa firmy Apple) ale to Amiga wnosiła fenomenalną na ówczesne czasy grafikę, animację i dźwięk. Architektura komputera to specjalizowane układy odciążające procesor. artyści Andy Warhole i Debby Harry przy pierwszej Amidze Rewelacją był też wielozadaniowy system operacyjny. Prasa branżowa potraktowała wtedy Amigę jako zabawkę, nie wiadomo było co z tym robić. Ten pierwszy model nazywał się po prostu Amiga, potem nazywano go Amiga 1000. Projekt wraz z zespołem który go stworzył, z genialnym Jayem Minerem na czele, trafił pod skrzydła CBM (Commodore Business Machines), giganta w tamtym okresie jeśli chodzi o produkcję komputerów na świecie. Kolejne modele pojawiły się 2 lata później – dopiero one odniosły sukces. Amiga 2000 i Amiga 500, oparte na podobnych podzespołach, okienkowy graficzny interfejs – Workbench jednocześnie rozdzieliły pierwotną koncepcję na dwie linie komputerów – “duże” i “małe” Amigi. 2 Amiga retro “Duże” Amigi przypominały PC, były to desktopy, umożliwiające rozbudowę za pomocą kart rozszerzeń. Za sprawą rozszerzenia Video Toaster stały się na jakiś czas standardem w edycji wideo.

  • Gioco Tempo Computer
    Il Gioco: il tempo del Computer Una rivoluzione. Siamo a metà del secolo scorso e mentre per il 90% della popolazione tutto procede come sempre qualcosa inizia a cambiare. Qualcosa di irreversibile sta per accadere: al di là di ogni aspettativa, qualcosa di non concepibile appena cinquant’ anni fa. Meno violento delle rivoluzioni che storicamente ricordiamo, ma di portata non minore e dalle conseguenze inaspettate. Fu una rivoluzione irrefrenabile, come continua ad esserlo oggi. Il gioco stava acquisendo nuova forma, e con esso si sarebbe plasmata una nuova realtà, un nuovo uomo non più reale, in carne ed ossa, ma proiettato in un mondo virtuale sarebbe diventato parte di esso perdendo la sua corporeità. Un uomo che non era più uno ma molti uomini insieme: in ogni gioco acquisiva una nuova identità e con essa accresceva la proprie capacità. Fu soprattutto il pensiero creativo a giovare di questo mutamento della forma del gioco. A dire il vero credo che fu proprio la creatività a dar vita a tutto questo. Tutto fu il risultato dell’ applicazione di una mente creativa alla monotonia del quotidiano. Una rottura di schemi del cui significato non si era pienamente consapevoli ma i cui risultati furono presto evidenti, anche se, come spesso accade per le innovazioni, inizialmente rimasero ristretti ad una bassa percentuale di popolazione e solo a partire dagli anni ’80 accrebbero il raggio di influenza fino ad avere un’ estensione mondiale. L’ Era videoludica: genesi Fu così che, mentre si giocava con le bambole e con i trenini, nel 1962 un gruppo di studenti del MIT, tra cui Steve Russel, programmò sul nuovo computer DEC PDP, col solo intento di testare le potenzialità dell’ hardware, Spacewars( fig.
