GOG.com Not Really Gone 276

gspr writes "On Sunday, Slashdot and many others reported that DRM-free games site GOG.com was shutting down. Now the site is back, revealing that it was all a hoax. According to the site: 'Now it's time we put an end to all the speculations once and for all. It's true that we decided that we couldn't keep GOG.com the way it was so we won't. As you probably know by now, GOG.com is entering its new era with an end of the two-years beta stage and we're launching a brand new GOG.com with new, huge releases.' So it was all an advertising stunt."

Ah the good memories. The Rom Kernel Manuals and Carl Sassenrath's book Guru Guide to the Amiga still stand out in my mind as good documentation.

I was just cleaning my close and ran across my collection of Transactor and Amiga World Tech magazines. This next move they aren't coming along as I have enough nostalgia items. Sigh, I also gave up the last of my old SGI kit.
The software architecture of the amiga still stands out in my mind as being ahead of its time.
I think of lot of people (at least in the VFX world) grew up on the amiga.
If anybody wants an amiga toaster 4000 setup, let me know. :)
