Comments: This site is an ongoing effort to provide an online resource for all things Amiga, old and new. Thus whether you are rendering, animating, audio sampling your cat's "meow" or making your A1000 floppy drive compatible with your A4000, this is the place to start. We are always looking for help, information and adding to our 'faculty' and over the next year will be developing an online curriculum, so if you want to get involved, we're all ears! :). This is meant to be an ecumenical effort to bring together *all* Amigans to the degree possible to provide knowledge and guidance across the world, in every form possible. Hope to see you online!
