For a little while, they looked like they would challenge the Macintosh as the hip computer. But the company went bankrupt before it got to far along that path. I never heard that Jobs owned an Amiga, but why not? (Especially after he got pushed out of Apple.) I do know that Commodore bought a couple NeXT computers to do research.Mackay Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15513778111749295320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089603726279630753.post-767618781242585172017-04-14T13:15:01.995-07:002017-04-14T13:15:01.995-07:00You do realize that Steve Jobs only owned Amigas ....You do realize that Steve Jobs only owned Amigas ..When his house was robbed//or rather attempted to be robbed.The robbery was asked why didn't you steal anything especially his computers.

Be creative the way I want to, and to be able to share my creative works with everyone in the world.Mackay Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15513778111749295320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089603726279630753.post-86297053664940542282017-03-08T22:05:15.167-08:002017-03-08T22:05:15.167-08:00As a reader, I love that anybody can be an author....As a reader, I love that anybody can be an author. One reason for which I stopped buying from local bookstores was that the books were too general or mainstream. I could find the same type of info by googling it. Amazon was different. I could find books focused on such a tiny, obscure niche and buying such books could actually save me time as well as allowing me to read unknown facts not available anywhere else or at least not in a digestible manner. And now I actively search from indie writers because most of the money I pay for a book goes to the artist. These are my thoughts as a bookworm. And as a writer, it's so awesome to write on whatever obscure niche I'm interested in at that time. I was interested on why species have so different lifespans and whether they all age. I read countless papers and books and thought about the problem and put it all out on paper. So glad I didn't have to convince anyone but me that this was a problem worth thinking about. And this is how 'The aging gap between species' book appeared without me knowing anybody at a publishing press. Great times we're living in!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06725876822379107437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089603726279630753.post-14647156572009741942017-03-08T10:33:42.692-08:002017-03-08T10:33:42.692-08:00Thanks for checking out my book!
