Blake Patterson<p>Forty years ago today, the Commodore Amiga 1000 was released to the world. With its unprecedented graphics &amp; sound capabilities, powerful 16-bit CPU and custom chipset, and UNIX-like multitasking OS, the Amiga was a truly revolutionary system for its time. And, many are still in use to this day, with the platform seeing new software and hardware development from month to month. </p><p>I presently have three, myself. :-) </p><p>Happy 40th, Amiga!</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amiga</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CommodoreAmiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommodoreAmiga</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/vintagtecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagtecomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputers</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/computinghistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>computinghistory</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/computers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>computers</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MC68K" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MC68K</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/AmigaDOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmigaDOS</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/AmigaOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmigaOS</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/technews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>technews</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/vintagetech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagetech</span></a></p>

Charlie McHenry<p>Gary Kildall was an important figure, and early <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/OS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OS</span></a> pioneer during the seminal period of the personal computer revolution. CP/M Creator Gary Kildall’s Memoirs Released as Free Download… Gary Kildall’s story shows how he paved a path for the start-up culture, say his children… I totally agree. The computing world would be substantially different had he chosen to meet with the IBM suits who were looking for an OS for their new PCs. But Kildall didn’t like suits, they made him nervous is the story.
