The eventThe Amiga is a family of personal computers sold by Commodore in the 1980s and 1990s. The first model, the A1000, was launched in 1985 and became popular for its graphical, audio and multi-tasking abilities. The best selling model, the Amiga 500, was introduced in 1987 and became one of the leading home computers of the late 1980s and early 1990s with approximately six million sold.Over the years, the Amiga has gathered a huge group of users, “fans” who, even today, use the computer for daily work, games, hobby, internet and anything else that modern-daycomputers are used for.To celebrate the Amiga’s 30th anniversary, an event wasorganized in Amsterdam on june 27th 2015, inviting allAmiga entousiasts to come to Amsterdam and celebrate theanniversary in the company of some of the original Amigasoft- and hardware designers.CYMTV had agreed to supply a LIVE stream from the event,to provide all footage to the majority of Amiga users, whocould not make it to Amsterdam.
