#retrogaming #commodore #amigaThe History of the Commodore Amiga - Rare Jay Miner Speech AmiExpo 1990The Guru Meditation2020-09-09 | Jay Miner is "The Father of the Amiga" This is a rare audio recording of his history of the Amiga speech on March 18th 1990 at AmiExpo East Coast in Washington DC. It is called "The Amiga from the Beginning" I had the pleasure of attending this event and meeting Jay Miner. He enjoyed speaking with members of the Amiga community and was very interested in the user group that I ran called WAUG - The Westchester Amiga User Group. Jay Miner loved user groups and the Amiga community. My dad purchased this audio recording at the end of the event. The tape had been missing in his house for many years - until now. Joe Lowery of AMUSE, who put on AMIExpo, introduces Jay Miner and Mr. Miner speaks about the Amiga's beginning with he and Dave Morse at Hi-toro, their relationship with Commodore, concepts for what he wanted the Amiga to be, the Amiga 1000, 500, and 2000, the history of the custom chips and their function, the history of the boing ball, and so much more. This event is one of my fondest memories. I included all the photos I have from it (which aren't many) including my admission ticket. Being that this is an audio only recording, I wanted some simple visuals to accompany it, so my dad transferred the original audio cassettes to 1/4" open reel. Those are my dad's hands at the beginning and the Dokorder reel to reel machine has been in his basement since I was born. The original recordings weren't very good quality with 60 Hz ground hum, over-modulation, etc.. I re-mastered them the best I could. I think there is something cool about this audio only recording. There is something magical about hearing only Jay Miner's voice. It takes me right back to one of the best days of my life. I hope you enjoy it as well.

#JayMiner #Commodore #AmigaAmiga After Commodore - Rare Petro Tyschtschenko FootageThe Guru Meditation2020-07-28 | Rare footage of former head of Amiga Technologies and Amiga International Petro Tyschtschenko speaking about his time at Commodore , the Escom buyout , and his time at Amiga before handing control of Amiga over to Bill McEwen. This footage is from a 2001 roast hosted by Amigan St. Louis . The original video is titled "The Petro Roast" and was produced by Bounce Back Videos. It was sent to me by Bob Sharp of Amigan St. Louis back in 2001 due t being president of The Westchester Amiga User Group. The original video is 1 hour and 20 minutes long so I cut it down to Petro's speech only. Enjoy!

#Commodore #Amiga #CommodoreAmigaOriginal Rare Apple 1 Computer Demo at Vintage Computer Festival VCF EastThe Guru Meditation2020-05-06 | There are only 57 verified Apple-1 computers in existence and we are privileged to have witnessed a demo of this ultra rare original Apple 1 computer. Expert Corey Cohen of the VCF gives us an in-depth look at an original Apple 1 that he restored and demonstrated at Vintage Computer Festival East. The Apple I is the first product from Apple Computers which is now the highest valued company in the world and also produced products such as the Macintosh, Mac, iMac, MacBook, MacBookPro, iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch . The Apple 1 was designed and built in Silicon Valley by Steve Wozniak and was marketed by Steve Jobs and sold through an electronics store called the Byte Shop. Wozniak demonstrated the first prototype in July 1976 at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California. The Apple-1 went on sale in July 1976 at a price of US $666.66 because Wozniak "liked repeating digits" As of January 23, 2020, a functioning, registered Apple I is listed on eBay for US $1,750,000.00. This is a very rare original NTI motherboard.

#Commodore #Amiga #RetroNewTek Video Toaster General Overview Demo on Commodore AmigaThe Guru Meditation2020-03-20 | Bill gives a general overview demonstration of NewTek's legendary Video Toaster for the Commodore Amiga computer. He shows the video switcher, ChromaFX, Toaster Paint, Lightwave 3D, and the character generator. The Video Toaster was released by NewTek in December of 1990 for the Commodore Amiga computer. No home computer was even remotely capable of so much video power at that time. A Toaster system costing less than $10,000 rivaled the equipment at major TV networks that cost over $100,000 and in many cases, could do even more.
