Wow Ted - you're rehashing GREAT Old memories! AS I too played with an
Amiga way back when! In effect, at the time of the early PC, the Apple
II and the Amiga - it was truly the Amiga that was SUPERIOR when it came
to sound and Especially Graphics!!! Am sure you remember the HAM method
(Hold & Modify) to access More colors! Right? I played with both 2D CG
and 3D CG programs on the Amiga. Great stuff indeed and a Great memory
to reconnect with my experiences on the Amiga!

Well, you might not be able to do anything useful, but at least you're
avoiding the latest exploits.
I have dozens of articles & newsletters I wrote on a C=64 that I'd
like to archive off onto more recent formats, but at the moment, the
machine isn't able to connect to a network. Transfer is of course one
obstacle of many. I'd likely have to set up an emulator on a new
machine, and try to reproduce the environments in which the
executables ran. Devices to read Commodore-formatted drives are quite
expensive, so if I could get the machine onto my LAN with a file
transfer program, that might be one way to archive the old files
which, yes, I should have done 30 years ago, but was playing with the
Amiga instead.
