Cover of the September 1989 issue of Info
Info was a magazine for Commodore computer owners. The unique thing about it was that it was also produced using Commodore computers, the Commodore 64 in the early days and later on the Amiga. By 1989, focus had definitely shifted to the Amiga but it was still covering the Commodore 64. The September 1989 issue includes:
Features
- Video Boot Camp - A guide to using the Amiga as a video workstation. Includes discussions of Deluxe Paint, external video adapters, genlock devices, digitizers, and more.
