He's also the author of "Commodore - The Inside Story", which detailed the internal workings of Commodore during its waning years. He's following this book up with a look at the Amiga: "From Vultures to Vampires", which looks at what became of Amiga after Commodore vanished into the mist. David joins AJ and Joerg today to talk about his time at Commodore, how other companies can carry on the torch, and about his new book, which is on Kickstarter. (Interview beings at 24:00)

Le podcast revient en deuxième semaine avec une nouveauté qui va révolutionner les podcasts d'AmigaImpact, en tout cas pour BatteMan ! En effet, c'est le premier podcast depuis fort longtemps qui est intégralement fait sous MorphOS, que ce soit le conducteur (écrit avec FlowStudio), le montage (fait avec HD-Rec), l'encodage (avec Lame), le taggage ID3 (avec RNOTags) et l'upload sur l'Internet mondial (avec Transfer) ! Sinon, le programme de cette semaine était relativement chargé, surtout rayon jeux et matériels, une nouvelle fois. Allez, on ne vous en dit pas plus si ce n'est que la jaquette est l'oeuvre de Bones et que l'outro de ce podcast 84 est la musique du niveau 1 de R-Type, réorchestrée/réinterprétée par Mister Banjo Guy Ollie que l'on remercie à nouveau ! Bonne écoute à tous et n'oubliez pas, que l'Amiga soit avec vous !
