Exploring the oftenoverlooked history and technological innovations of the worlds first true multimedia computerLong ago in 1985 personal computers came in two general categories the friendly childish game machine used for fun exemplified by Atari and Commodore products and the boring beige adult box used for business exemplified by products from IBM The game machines became fascinating technical and artistic platforms that were of limited realworld utility The IBM products were all utility with little emphasis on aesthetics and no emphasis on fun Into this bifurcated computing environment came the Commodore Amiga 1000 This personal computer featured a palette of 4096 colors unprecedented animation capabilities fourchannel stereo sound the capacity to run multiple applications simultaneously a graphical user interface and powerful processing potential It was Jimmy Maher writes in The Future Was Here the worlds first true multimedia personal computerMaher argues that the Amigas capacity to store and display color photographs manipulate video giving amateurs access to professional tools and use recordings of realworld sound were the seeds of the digital media future digital cameras Photoshop MP3 players and even YouTube Flickr and the blogosphere He examines different facets of the platform8212from Deluxe Paint to AmigaOS to Cinemaware8212in each chapter creating a portrait of the platform and the communities of practice that surrounded it Of course Maher acknowledges the Amiga was not perfect the DOS component of the operating systems was clunky and illmatched for example and crashes often accompanied multitasking attempts And Commodore went bankrupt in 1994 But for a few years the Amigas technical qualities were harnessed by engineers programmers artists and others to push back boundaries and transform the culture of computing.

The inaugural volume of the 50 Studies series, 50 Studies Every Doctor Should Know presents key studies that have shaped the practice of medicine. Selected using a rigorous methodology, the studies cover topics ranging from dieting to cardiovascular disease, insomnia to obstetrics. For eachstudy, a concise summary is presented with an emphasis on the results and limitations of the study, and its implications for practice. Brief information on other relevant studies is provided, and an illustrative clinical case concludes each review. A section of review questions and answers isincluded at the back of the book to ensure that readers take away the key messages from each study. For this new edition, the contents were reorganized to include ten new studies, and the references, guidelines, and implications of existing studies were thoroughly updated. This book is a must-readfor health care professionals and anyone who wants to learn more about the data behind clinical practice. Continuing the story of Commodore where the previous book, Commodore: A Company on the Edge left off, this book takes a look at Commodore\'s most tumultuous years. How did the Amiga, a computer now widely regarded as having been five years ahead of its competition, fail to win in the marketplace? The author takes an in-depth look at the people behind Commodore\'s plunge into irrelevance and bankruptcy. The often unflattering picture that emerges is one of executives who had little understanding of how to market their product to the public and a company struggling to remain relevant. Told through interviews with company insiders, this examination of the now defunct company traces the engineering breakthroughs and baffling decisions that led to the demise of Commodore.
