	Since evryone has been speculating on the origins of the name Amiga,
I decided to ask the horse's mouth, so I called Jay Miner.  He said that
Dave Morse was responsible for the name.  The original root was Amic as in
Amicable, which then underwent cosmetic changes to become Amiga.  Jay was'nt
very clear about this stuff and promised he would ask Dave and put together
a posting if he had time.
