Hard hats on and lets takes a strong step to the future with our very own AMIGAramaVille metropolis, for this week’s city building show.
A few days ago, Christie’s Auction house sold another Apple 1 for whopping $470,000 and when I read about it my first reaction was “yet another one…moving on”. That thought made me wonder why I would think like that. The Apple 1s are no less rare than they were a few years ago when the first ones had surfaced, and…
I confess I was unaware of this project until I saw the news on Call A.P.P.L.E. Thanks to them, ViTNO can share the good news.

Lorfarius gears up in his monster truck alongside the Amiga’s Ironman, for this weeks Super Off Road trip.
On the Amiga Love forum, Eric Hill has published a comprehensive report of a pre-production Amiga 1000 he has acquired.
