Amiga SDK for Windows providing Mediatic Presence
After Amiga Inc. also offers the Amiga SDK for
Windows, non-Amiga medias are showing interest in the Amiga once again. We
have, as usual, regrouped the press-releases on our special page "External Articles".
In this context the second interview of 'Temple of Technology' with Fleecy
Moos is surely the most interesting. (Hint: you need to switch off background
images to read the interview in AWeb).
Supplement:
Mistake: The interview with Fleecy is no second interview,
but the one that has already been mentionned here on Ooctober 12th.
Sorry, tipping error ;-)
