From: Peter M. D'Angelo Amiga Arts Forum · Hot News and Rumors November 3, 1992 5:01 AM
All, I'm still on that campaign and I am getting more and more impressed each day with the response. Please keep it up and send me the names of everyone who would like to see Falcon 3.0 for the Amiga. Peter, [Flying the only way to go!] Way High On…
From: Peter M. D'Angelo Amiga User Forum · Hot News and Rumors October 31, 1992 11:48 AM
All, My campaign is working, however, it is only a moral victory so far. I need alot more names. Search your user groups, ask friends, neighbors, employees who own Amigas. Falcon 3.0 should be ported and I believe we can get it done. To those who already got the names…

All, Please take part in the petition to get Falcon 3.0 ported (WRITTEN) TO the Amiga. It seems I hit a raw nearve at Spectrum Holobyte. They think were're all over zealous snooty snobs that can't realize our machine is facing extinction. That comes from AXEL in the Game Publishers…

From: Peter M. D'Angelo Amiga User Forum · Hot News and Rumors October 30, 1992 12:59 PM
All, I started a campaign to get Falcon 3.0 published for the Amiga. I have collected 1000 names from Long Island alone of people that want it. Some have already bought PCs' just to be able to play. I need help. Collect some names and send them to me via…
From: Peter M. D'Angelo Amiga Arts Forum · Hot News and Rumors October 29, 1992 1:34 PM
Denny, I have almost every filght sim made for the Amiga and find that FOTI is not up to par with Baron, A-10, BOP, or even F-15II. The limiting factor of being a one scenario game has kept many people from buying it. Spectrum Holobyte should not use that as…
From: Peter M. D'Angelo Amiga Arts Forum · Hot News and Rumors October 29, 1992 6:52 AM
All, I have a sugestion for all Amiga flight sim fanatics. If you long to play Falcon 3.0 on the Amiga, collect as many names and addresses of those you know who have an Amiga and feel the same way, and then send them to Spectrum Holobyte. They think we…

From: Peter M. D'Angelo Amiga User Forum · Classified October 29, 1992 6:45 AM
Greg, Appology accepted. However, I must be quite protective of my dealer. I know he was in the wrong in BLABBING about the 1200 but it was only to me. He knew how much I wanted a 4000 and that it would be out of my reach for some time.…

Joanne, Thanks a bunch. If the news of my big mouth gets back to Commodore, Long Island could los their only real Amiga dealer. I guess I wasn't supposed to squeel, but no one ever told me about a NDA or even not to say anything. I should have never…

From: Peter M. D'Angelo Amiga User Forum · Hot News and Rumors October 26, 1992 11:00 PM
Greg, I guess you don't have Autopilot so it might be difficult for you to read the thread. I am not in any way bound by a NDA. I was the one that compromised my dealers confidence. I was bugging him about a new system for about three weeks. It…
From: Peter M. D'Angelo Amiga User Forum · Hot News and Rumors October 26, 1992 10:59 PM
Someone correct me if I'm wrong. "If the Amiga 4000 has a fallback mode all the way back to the OCS, Shouldn't the 1200, thus making it compatible with all software????? Peter Live from New York on Autopilot

All, Just to set things straight, MY DEALER was the one that told me to hang on and wait for a new computer CBM would release soon. It was on GEnie that I learned of its official release. I downloaded a text file, printed it out and showed it to…

All, I'd like to appologize but I don't know who to. I'm sorry that I leaked information I wasn't supposed to. I really didn't even know what a NDA waas until today. I guess my excitement got away from me and I'll keep such info offline until released unless it…

All, DATELINE: OCT20,1992 NORTHPORT, L.I., NY Today I visited my local Amiga dealer (Amigo Business Computers), a place I visit at least three times a week, and began to use the Amiga 4000 that was displayed. "Wow"!, I said as I saw the potential of the graphics modes available. "Boy…

#73213 #a4000 Impressions Message #73217
From: Peter M. D'Angelo Amiga User Forum · Hot News and Rumors October 11, 1992 11:37 PM
Keith, I don't think 3.0 can run on a 2000 because the ROM is 32bits wide and the 2.0 rom is 16bits wide. How could we fit a 3.0 ROM in a 2000 and if we can't how can we run 3.0? Peter Live from New York on Autopilot

Greg, I don't have a 4000 (I'm broke from upgrading my 2000) bu I have worked on the 4000 at my local dealer. Try selecting a screen mode that is specifically marked NO FLICKER. This will enable the flicker free software and improve your display. The 4000 does not have…
