It often slips my mind that Electronic Arts was once one of the premier Amiga software publishers, specifically developing Deluxe Paint. It's weird to think of any of the old Amiga-related companies surviving and thriving decades later, because most didn't. The ones who have succeeded the most have long since lost any resemblance to the original company; EA is one of those. I remember studying IFF, and specifically the AIFF audio format, for some software ideas I had back in the late 80s or early 90s, but never actually made into something useful. AIFF, in an extended form, is still used in Apple audio products (like GarageBand and Logic). So, IFF is still around, to some extent.
