The demise of Amiga Alley
It appears that Colin Thompson's long-running Amiga website, "Amiga Alley" is gone.
Killed, in effect, by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology threat of a lawsuit
to punish Colin for naming his column "The Almost-Daily Fishwrap". It seems that MIT
owns a trademark on the name "Fishwrap" and doesn't like Amigas. As a fellow Amiga
website, we shall mourn the passing of this great news page. You can find details in the link
above thanks to Amiga News Central and Amiga Update.
