- Maybe things are different in NZ, but on this side of the moat, Agnus is always
- male, and Agnes is female.
-
- Just to confuse the issue further, the chip called Agnus is labled "Fat Lady"
- on my A2000 motherboard...

- Amiga trivia:
-
- The chip now called Agnus (actually, Fat Agnus, then Super Agnus and now
- Alice), used to be called Agnes in Commodore's official docs - at least, it
- was on the A1000. In the earliest days, as well as Agnes, we had Daphne (now
- Denise) and Portia (now Paula). Does anyone know why the names were changed?
