Re:Amigaville – A New Amiga Magazine on Friday December 11, 2015 @05:47PM (#10720676)

It seems the author's dropbox account couldn't handle the traffic, so I added my own links. Hopefully now people will be able to download both issues:

Issue #1: http://www.vintageisthenewold.com/amigaville-a-new-amiga-mag...

Issue #2: http://www.vintageisthenewold.com/amiga-magazine-amigaville-...

If it doesn't work, comment on the article, please.

Hope that helps

Paulo
