[Coco] OT: Amiga 30th Anniversary event at the Computer History Museum

[Christopher Barnett Fox]

Bill,

After leaving the CoCo 3 in the early '90s, I owned a DECstation 5000 for
school and an Amiga 500 for fun. I'd been into computer graphics since
seeing Tron as a child, and the Amiga's graphics and sound were amazing
for the time.
