SHORT: AmigaFAQ by David Tiberio
UPLOADER: dtiberio@libserv1.ic.sunysb.edu
- Introduction -
Many of you may be wondering what the Amiga FAQ is and why it has
been created. A FAQ is a list of Frequently Asked Questions, compiled
and provided on a regular basis to people interested in the subject of
the FAQ. In this case, I am attempting to provide as much thorough
information as possible for both beginners and expert Amiga users as
well as for non-Amiga users. In fact many Amiga users request this file
in order to provide it to students, teachers, local dealers, or friends
in an attempt to promote the Amiga.
