Blog: The Colorful Charm of Amiga Utility Disks
In his latest, richly illustrated blog entry, Carl Svensson looks at Amiga utility disks and their often creative CLI menus: Utility disks were especially popular in the demo scene, and included editors, crunchers, graphics tools, trackers for composing music, or tools for displaying or playing text, graphics and music files.

Article on Amiga use in film productions by Digital Domain
Befores & Afters is a (primarily online) magazine on visual effects and animation. At the title link, it dedicates a current article to the use of the Amiga in the film industry - to be more precise, it is simply a reproduction of memories of Digital Domain graphic artist Sean Cunningham, which he published as a comment on the YouTube channel of Retro Recipes after an Amiga 4000 apparently used for the films "Apollo 13" and "Titanic" turned up three years ago.
