Bill McEwen talks Amiga at ACE 2000

[RobertB]

At the Melbourne Amiga User Group meeting on Thursday night, I was introduced to two videos that I didn't even know existed.  Both of the lengthy videos concentrate on Bill McEwen who talked about Amiga at the Amiga Computer Expo 2000.  The videos were posted in 2012, but only 176 people have seen them so far!

 

You can see these now historical videos at

This shows a better demo then videos above but Sun beat Amiga Inc. to the bytecode revolution since AmigaDA/AmigaAnyware focused on games and the dying Amiga community.   I still have no idea why Bill thought his Amiga Inc. licensed Tao virtual machine had anything to do with Amiga community ?

 

Anyway Sun focused on getting millions of Java developers.  Big win for Sun.. bankruptcy for Tao and Amiga Inc.
