BBC Archive Amiga 1000 Clip

Hi all!

I stumbled across this short but charming video clip on YouTube from the BBC Archives, where they are introducing the shiny new Commodore Amiga 1000.

Thought I'd share it in case other people might enjoy it too

I can remember watching that when it was first broadcast. Mind blowing for the time, given that the majority of us were using Speccies and C64's around that time!

I seem to remember around the same time (or not long after), our local computer shop got their first A1000 in the store

I watched it the other day. I think, while it may have over-simplified some of the technical bits, it was a better than most interpretation of what the Amiga was.

I also watched it recently - been getting a lot of such recommendations - tomorrow's world etc on Youtube.

Apart from the huge amount of Amiga mini vids theres also been a number of new A-Max and Mac emulation videos.
