Needed: Web Browser

Time: 10-15 minutes

Introduction

I did not have an Amiga and missed out on the excitement of each hardware and software update. I got a sense for that excitement from this article in Amiga Computing magazine from 1991 that covered the release of Workbench 2.0. It is well-written and comprehensive review of all the new features that represented a significant upgrade from Workbench 1.3.

Instructions

Navigate to the Internet Archive to read the PDF of Amiga Computing magazine issue 35 from April of 1991. The piece starts on page 57 and was written by Jason Holborn.

Comments

It was fun for me as a new Amiga owner and user to get a sense for what new features of Workbench people were excited about with version 2.0. It really helps me appreciate the OS and GUI.
