What exactly is an Amiga?
Amiga Music Preservation - FaqThe Amiga was a revolutionary 16 bit computer created by an American electronic firm called Commodore inc as it could record and play back any real audio. When it first came out in 1986, the Amiga 1000 had outstanding audio and video capacities. Several million machines were sold throughout the years until the last Amiga came out in the late 90's (the A4000 Tower). Nowadays some manufacturers have developed new generation Amiga computers going by the name of Pegasos and Amiga One.
Related QuestionsWhat is the Amiga scene?
Amiga Music Preservation - FaqThe Amiga scene is a European computer art movement that saw the light in the mid 80's (1986 to be more exact).

Related QuestionsI OWN AN AMIGA! HOW DO I TRANSFER THE AMIGA OS TO MY OTHER MACHINE?
Amiga Emulation Frequently Asked QuestionsThe Amiga stores part of the OS in a ROM and the rest on hard disk. You need to transfer both of these parts to the emulator in order to run software that uses the OS. The component held in ROM is known as Kickstart. The rest of the OS is provided on floppy disks with the Amiga, or perhaps already installed on a HD if you bought a second-hand one. Both UAE and Fellow provide the same utilities to copy the OS from an Amiga to floppy disks. The programmes provided are transdisk and transrom.
Related QuestionsIs there Emacs support for R?
R FAQThere is an Emacs package called ESS (“Emacs Speaks Statistics”) which provides a standard interface between statistical programs and statistical processes. It is intended to provide assistance for interactive statistical programming and data analysis. Languages supported include: S dialects (R, S 3/4, and S-Plus 3.x/4.x/5.x/6.x/7.x), LispStat dialects (XLispStat, ViSta), SAS, Stata, and BUGS. ESS grew out of the need for bug fixes and extensions to S-mode 4.
Related QuestionsShould I run R from within Emacs?
R FAQYes, definitely. Inferior R mode provides a readline/history mechanism, object name completion, and syntax-based highlighting of the interaction buffer using Font Lock mode, as well as a very convenient interface to the R help system. Of course, it also integrates nicely with the mechanisms for editing R source using Emacs. One can write code in one Emacs buffer and send whole or parts of it for execution to R; this is helpful for both data analysis and programming.
Related QuestionsWhy does zsh not work in an Emacs shell mode any more?
Z-Shell Frequently-Asked QuestionsEmacs 19.29 or thereabouts stopped using a terminal type of "emacs" in shell buffers, and instead sets it to "dumb". Zsh only kicks in its special I'm-inside-emacs initialization when the terminal type is "emacs". Probably the most reliable way of dealing with this is to look for the environment variable $EMACS, which is set to t in Emacs' shell mode. Putting [[ $EMACS = t ]] && unsetopt zle in your .zshrc should be sufficient.
Related QuestionsWhat is an experienced Emacs user?
Frequently Asked Questions: AppendicesYes, when you use Emacs, you are apt to use the control key, the shift key and the meta key a lot. This is very annoying to some people (notably vile users), and the rest of us just love the hell out of it. Just give up and submit. Emacs really does stand for "Escape-Meta-Alt-Control-Shift", and not "Editing Macros", as you may have heard from other disreputable sources (like the Emacs author).
