Excited for tomorrow’s SF Symphony concert with Eimear Noone conducting video game classics at Davies Symphony Hall! As the #Amiga 1000 audio architect and N64 sound logic designer, I’m thrilled to hear some game music live. #VideoGamesInConcert #RetroGaming

We are saddened by the passing of Bill Atkinson, a software developer whose work helped shape the PC revolution. Atkinson’s legacy will live on in the tools, interfaces, & ideas that made computers more human-centered. Learn more: bit.ly/43PGz2S

en.gamegpu.com/iron/na-vcf-we… 🖥️ A rare look at the original Amiga 1000 prototype was on display at VCF West 2025, part of the Amiga 40th anniversary. 🧵 The messy PCB pile was shown at CES 1984, before Commodore acquired it. Steve Jobs reportedly saw it, but passed on the idea. 🎛️

Who would imagine that 100's of people in Germany would want to pose for selfies in front on a stack of wire wrapped prototype circuit boards that were built 41 years ago? The original engineers found it wonderful ... and Surreal. #amiga40 Lorraine for the Amiga 1000 OCS

Woz's love for simplicity was born from a love of engineering. When he designed the controller for the first Apple floppy drive, he used only 2 chips and a bit of programming. Competitors at the time used 22 chips. Woz realized that he could use the CPU, rather than outsourcing

I restore old computers, and am always curious how their classic performance compares to modern PCs. Are they a hundred times faster? A thousand? A million? Here are the stats. I wrote a Dhrystone test in K&R C that runs on everything I own, unmodified, from the PDP-11/34
