This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am starting a new Mini Series about the Amiga 500, along the same lines as my A2000 Adventures series from a few months back. This machine has some reliability issues, so we are going to get busy getting her all fixed up. In Episode 1 we are introduced to the machine, and to the A500 in general for newbies and make a road map of the repair process.

Thank you all for your patience with the #AmigaArtContest Livestream failure yesterday - a piece of technology failed miserably causing disconnects from the Internet every 30 seconds or so. I won't name names... but take my advice and buy good quality cables!
The Amiga Art Contest 2021 lives on, though! Vicky and I reconnected later in the day and recorded the entire event anyway and now I can reveal it to you! Please join us as we share all of this beautiful artwork with you, chat about the Amiga in the art scene and dazzle you with witty repartee! (Two out of three ain't bad...)
Huge thanks to our sponsors for the prizes this year! You guys are all awesone!
