Default Keysoft wins modding contest
Gaby "Keysoft" Martínez, a Spanish old hand Amiga user, has won a modding contest promoted by one of the most important Spanish PC magazines, "PC Actual" (in Spanish), with two central pages devoted to explain the modding process and full of references to the Amiga and its parts.

His modding includes an A1200/040/PPC, a PS2 and a miniITX PC board, a 5" TFT screen for both PS2 and Amiga video output, among other things, all this in a really impressive [size=large]BIG[/size] (20 x 91 x 45 cm) methacrylate case, with two nice Amiga signs on top.
"PC Actual" (in Spanish)
Sorry, no images... for nowl :-D

Congratulations to the winner!

Saluditos,

Ferrán.

In Portuguese too, Amiga is female friend, and girlfriend would be "namorada".

I wonder if there are any other languages with "Amiga" in them.

I posted the images there because here the news item was not shown yet, and in ANN is shown immediately.

Hoya!

Wow! That is a tower!!! Actually, it looks more like a server than a home computer... ;-)


@Lando

Well, in French, "ami" is male friend and "amie" is female friend.
Not exactly the same, but, as you can see, Latin languages obviously share common roots.

Be funky

Well, as far as I know, Esperanto is still spoken by a bunch of mavericks around the world...
Sounds like deja vu? ;-)
