"...Amiga?" Yes, that Amiga. BOOT UP YOUR A500s, KIDS, IT'S TIME TO PLAY SOME HOCKEY!
Seriously, it's like getting a news update from some alternate world where Commodore mattered. It's like hearing that Acorn Computers or Sinclair Research won the bid to provide the server core for the Vancouver Olympics. "The Amiga Center at Kent will be a launch platform for new and innovative Amiga technologies." what? "Amiga Center at Kent will have the technology in place allowing event-goers to watch instant replays on a handheld device and to order, pay for and have food delivered using only a cell phone." what? This whole thing is chock full of "what?"
CHECK!

That's what happens when a hockey team long frustrated with an undesirable venue is rewarded with a new arena. The T-Birds came one step closer to that realization Tuesday when the city of Kent announced that technology company Amiga had purchased the naming rights to the proposed Kent Events Center.
