Amiga Galaxies: Classic Amiga, the source galaxy

Every  innovation  has  a beginning, a source.  So it is with the AmiVerse.
What  began  as  Amiga  and  is  now  Classic Amiga is that beginning, that
source.

It was fun to work for a startup computer company in the 1970's and 1980's.
Commodore, Atari, Coleco (later named Sega), Sinclair, and many others took
the  plunge.  People stayed up all night (and sometimes for days at a time)
to "win" the race to introduce before some other company did.

Its been a while since an update. I've however not been entirely idle. I've updated to the latest GNU Classpath CVS version, which only added the java.io.Console class. But I found the Console class to be needed by the egit Git Hub client. Sadly, egit also requires some annotation stuff found in the not yet implemented "javalangreflect" library. Its a library with only one method in it, so it shouldn't be a biggie. Its just a matter of, well, doing it.
