It's been a real experience writing for, and more recently writing for AND editing Amiga Report Magazine. It's been a chance to take a good idea and turn it into an (if I may say so) amazingly successful and popular source of information. Of course, the argument can always be made that the Commodore liquidation proceedings have created a huge void of news that we just happened to fit neatly into, but I'd like to think that it rested on the hard work of the writers and the support of the readers.
A few months ago, I started thinking of what AR was missing and what job it could or should be doing. Then I started thinking about what the Amiga was missing...and it came to me: an online technical journal, bringing the sort of rapid distribution the format allows to a new audience, with the sort of information that might not QUITE fit into the much more broadly-based Amiga Report. To put in development material, in-depth tutorials and articles, and...well, whatever else happens to come our way. :)
That's where Greg steps in. I knew AR Tech needed an editor other than myself...first off, I simply don't have the sort of expertise it takes, and even if I did, I wouldn't have the time to do the job right. Greg's already set a pretty high standard and set of goals for the magazine, which thrills me. (After all, it'll be an online magazine I can READ for a change!)
Please enjoy yourselves. The Amiga needs people who know how the machine works, particularly with the liquidation's conclusion just around the corner. The auction is April 20th...just three weeks away as I write this. The long sleep may be coming to an end.
