Pour ma culture perso, est ce que quelqu’un saurait d’où vient le nom Amiga?

A final significant event that took place during 1982 is the company’s’ name change. In an attempt to distinguish itself from the Japanese lawnmower firm ‘Toro’, the company name is changed to ‘Amiga Incorporated’. The reason for the choice of Amiga has become legendary – Miner wanted a ‘friendly’ name that would dispel the air of confusion that surrounds most computers. As the Spanish word for female friend, Amiga fitted this profile. The fact that it came before Apple and Atari in listings also helped. Although Miner was unhappy with the name initially, he soon realized the impact that it could have.

Merci Bigdan, tu es la mémoire de l’Amiga.

Effectivement j’avais déjà vu ce texte, mais je ne m’en rappelais plus.

BigDan : Tu as raison, la traduction de amiga.emugaming.com est toujours en cours… Mais bon… Il manque encore quelques années (notamment après 1999 et des trous entre 1981 et 1988). Mais j’ai bon espoir de le finir un jour
