MoMoCa 10/3/22: Amiga and the end of the home computer (feat. obiwandi) – News

teasers

In this MoMoCa, Hagen welcomes user guest Andreas, who redeems his Christmas campaign joker and has a desired topic in his luggage.

Even though German Unity Day is being celebrated today, a Monday morning podcast produced in advance is available for you. This time Hagen welcomes Andreas, whom you better than in the comment columns obiwandi knows. He redeemed his joker from last year’s Christmas campaign to do this podcast with Hagen. As always, there’s no shortage of answers to your user questions, glimpses of upcoming GG content, and recent weekend conversations (more or less, since both were recording on Friday). Before that, however, the two talk about a topic that Andreas wanted to focus on, which gave Hagen the opportunity to work on gaps in his knowledge of home computers. Actually, the focus should be more on the Amiga 1200 and the (undeserved?) end of the home computer, but when recapitulating the beginnings of the Amiga and the way to the fall of the home computer, time flew by for both of them.
