************ AMIGA PEOPLE!! ************
************ WE WANT YOU!!! ************
Attention! If you were involved with the launch of the original Amiga 1000
back in 1984/85, you can become part of history!
AmigaWorld is currently in the process of producing what we hope will
become a splendid video documentary on the history of our favorite computer,
the Amiga. We want to make a niche-type film that is worthy of both the
original A1000 and the fantastic group of people who created it. In order
to undertake this project correctly, we need your help.
If you were involved in any way with the Amiga design, development, launch,
or worked for Commodore during that time, we need to hear from you. Maybe you
knew Jay Miner or the late Rob Peck, or one of the other original team members,
and want to share some of your thoughts and experiences. Even if all you did
was serve lunch to Commodore executives back in the good ol' days and overheard
pieces of their conversations, we want to hear about it.
Of course, if you developed Amiga software, hardware, or were involved in any
way with the development of the computer, you were part of the history that we
want to document. Naturally, if you were a member of the original design team,
we definitely want to hear from you. Don't feel that your role was too
insignificant, either. Suppose you were one of the first paying customers of
an Amiga 1000 packed with an astonishing 256K of RAM. Don't underrate the
significance of your purchase. It can also play a role in the content of this
film. If you bought one of those old Amigas (and are perhaps still using it),
we want to hear from you, too. If worked in or owned a computer dealership that
sold the original Amigas, well, it pretty much goes without say that we need
to hear from you.
Maybe you weren't involved with the original Amiga design team, but were
working for a third-party company that was involved. We want to hear from
you. Former Activision, Aegis, Arktronics employees, you need to contact us.
Borland, Broderbund, Cherry Lane Technologies, Electronic Arts, Island
Graphics, et al, we want to hear your stories, too. Maybe you were at the
Lincoln Center launch in 1985, rubbing elbows with the late Andy Warhol and
and ogling Debbie Harry. We want to hear from you, too.
Maybe you have Amiga memorabilia. Audio, videos, photos, and so on, we want
it all. Objects such as signs, coffee mugs, napkins, placemats, t-shirts,
jackets, sweatshirts, ashtrays, user group stuff, we want to see it. Don't
worry--we will return any items that you might send to us. Did you use your
camcorder to document the user group meeting where a note Amiga design team
member spoke? If so, we want to see that tape, or a copy of it. Maybe you have
a recording of one of the founding fathers of the Amiga on audio tape. We'd
like to listen to it.
We want to record all of that history in video form. Not only will you and
your contribution play an historical role, you'll be handsomely rewarded for
any contribution made that we use in the production.
