This web site, www.amiga.org is the concerted effort of the North Alabama Society of Amiga Users (NASAU) to present a common place for information, links, and resources about the Amiga® line of personal computers. Amiga is the copyrighted trademark of Amiga Technologies, GmbH.
The North Alabama Society of Amiga Users itself is a non-profit organization dedicated to help Amiga users understand and harness the power of the greatest multimedia machine in history. We are in no way, technically or otherwise affiliated with Amiga Technologies or ESCOM (it's parent company).
NASAU meetings are scheduled for the first and third Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm. They take place at Ryan's Family Steakhouse on University Drive about 1 block east of Memorial Parkway in Huntsville, Alabama.

Q. You post news stories, what is your policy regarding posting news?
A. There are 4.5 rules we go by when determining which news to post for your consideration. All of them equally important.
- We must be able to verify it personally from at least two sources. "Dewey Defeats Truman" is not a role model we follow.
- If it can be traced to the original source, post their press release (with permission), not the secondary site.
- News is Public Domain. Once it's posted and verifyable, it's fair game as long as you don't copy another's page verbatim... Trying to "copyright" news stories is idiotic, ego driven, and not centered for the benefit of the Amiga during this dark period in the Amiga's history..
- If you can't verify it, it doesn't exist.
- "If you eliminate the impossible, whatever is left, however improbable, must be the truth.." - Spock, Star Trek VI, scene 37.
Q. So why are we "AMIGA.ORG"?
A. Simply put, in January of 1994, we registered the AMIGA.ORG domain through the Internet's "InterNIC" agency in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Internet. Since AMIGA.ORG had not been reserved by anyone, it was given to us.
Q. What is the purpose of www.amiga.org?
A. Our original (and current) intent is to offer a central link to any and all Internet resources surrounding the Amiga® line of personal computers. Rather than our small club spending many, many hours trying to keep up with the ever-changing news and products, we plan to offer you the most up-to-date links to resources upkept by literally hundreds of Amiga enthusiasts, developers, and companies worldwide.
Q. Is this site commercially sponsored?
A. Aside from our Internet Provider's service, this site is not currently sponsored by any commercial sources. We would welcome sponsors wholeheartedly in exchange for advertising but no efforts have yet been made in that arena.
Q. As holder of the "amiga.org" domain, would you allow me/us to set our club's page up as a subdomain? (example; nasau.amiga.org)
A. We are currently looking into the issues surrounding "subdomaining" and see no real problem other than the technical issues of getting your ISP to provide the appropriate routing. To discuss these options, please leave feedback.
