Weirdly negative tone towards Andy Warhol for seemingly no reason, otherwise interesting article. The guy (Warhol) was almost 60 years old when the Amiga came out and already a pretty famous name.

- bitwize 4y agoHe was brought in as a publicity stunt. He did very little on the Amiga, and he didn't use it professionally in his work.
