I'm sure there's lots of better writers who actually know the Amiga. Fixing errors won't make Ars know a good writer when they see one. Even someone who doesn't know Amiga could do better, if he bothered to research the subject first.
I offered to help him on this article back in 2008 and we exchanged a couple of mails but I guess he forgot when finishing it FIVE YEARS LATER ;)
