The Commodore Amiga was such a popular machine here in the UK and across Europe, but it always struck me as odd that in the USA, the home of Commodore, it was little more than a footnote in computer history. I've decided to ask some dedicated American Amiga owners for their perspective on the machine as underground Amiga owners back in the day.
