5/15/2002: micro-art hidden in circuits

sleemanj · 05-16-2002, 10:02 PM

In the good ol' days when an Amiga was every geeks dream, computers often contained hidden art.

The first Amiga, the 1000, had the signatures of the design team on the underside of the case lid (i.e disassemble the case to see it). The motherboards of (all?) Amiga's contained references to B52's recordings. I don't have an electron microscope to have a look at good ol' Agnus (graphics chip) but I'll bet there is some hidden art in it somewheres :-)

That's something that PC's never really have/had, that the designer is so proud of thier creation that they put a little piece of themselves into it.
