On today\u2019s show, we\u2019re continuing our coverage of the 32-bit GUI computers. We\u2019ve covered the Apple Lisa, Macintosh, Atari ST, and now we move on to what some say was the ST\u2019s bitter enemy, the Commodore Amiga.<\/p>\n

Wikipedia reports: \u201cThe Amiga 1000 was officially released in July 1985, but a series of production problems meant it did not become widely available until early 1986. The best selling model, the Amiga 500, was introduced in 1987 and became one of the leading home computers of the late 1980s and early 1990s with four to six million sold.\u201d<\/p>\n

David and Jeff are just two collectors looking at things from that vantage point. Here, we take an informal look at personal computing history through the lens of eBay auctions. We\u2019re joined again on today\u2019s show by our special guest, Chuck Hunnefield!<\/p>\n
