Message #100566
Hmm. Interesting, now that you mention it. -Jim
Thanks, Andy. I have a PR contact for CBM. I also have the name of the contact within CBM who is/was working with Dr. Leary. Getting to the latter has been difficult – too bad, sounds like it might have been an interesting discussion (if the reaction here was any…
C=A/Leary
Message #100223
My thanks to everyone who responded to the MindMovies question. A number of interesting (other) subjects were brought up and I think most of them addressed legitimate concerns by forum members. The responses I received indicated that there is definitely life on this forum!! Since so many questions and comments…

C=A and Timothy Leary
Message #100210
Ben, I called CBM to inquire about MindMovies, not Leary specifically. As I mentioned in a previous message (to someone else, I believe), the software folks were very helpful. But, to your comment about it being a stupid, time wasting question – that may be true, in their eyes. However,…
Thank you
Message #99879
Thanks for the comment, Jer. -Jim
John, The Easyplex messages were meant to be private so the sources must remain anonymous. However, a number of forum users have said the same thing (unless they've removed their responses). I'm afraid this continues to be a controversy over sources rather than a response to those messages. I have…

Larry, As you probably know, I took a lot of heat for the Amiga driver story. The explanation that accompanied it seemed unambiguous to me and I accepted it as coming from CBM (knowing the forum administrators would never allow an upload of this significance unless it was authentic). I'd…
Larry, Which recent Commodore (Amiga?) stories appeared to be poorly researched? If they've been labelled as rumors, I won't apologize for them. Readers constantly ask for the "latest rumor", and as long as a rumor doesn't degrade anyone or anything (company, computer, etc.) I run them as I get them.…
Left?
Rick, The point of asking for comments from users on this forum is to balance the ORIGINAL comments I received. I continue to be amazed that some people complain about the lack of "fair" press coverage but then complain when they are asked for offsetting comments. My message was posted…

Message #99725
Bill, Thanks for the comment. I don't know if Leary makes good or bad news but I am intrigued by the emotions he's brought out in many people. Even more interesting, to me, is that I didn't hear any complaints about his previous project(s). Perhaps I wasn't listening then. -Jim

Come on, Ben. Stop beating around the bush. What do you really think? -Jim

Dave, I've had some pretty strong comments (both ways) about the Leary thing and your message was a pleasant respite. Thanks for the chuckle! -Jim

#C=A and Timothy Leary
Message #99717
I would hope that people would respond with their opinions. I don't make up their minds for them and I don't presume to guess what many of them think. Yes, I'm well aware of Leary's other computer-oriented efforts. I've been a computer professional since the early 60's and there's not…

Message #99713
Hmm. Yet I wonder if some folks really think a boycott isn't an appropriate response. Some organizations, primarily universities, threatened to boycott IBM just for being in South Africa. The argument was that their presence indicated approval. -Jim

C=A and Timothy Leary
Message #99709
Thanks for your comment, Don. In general, Leary seems to generate negative comments (at least, so far). I hope I get a chance to interview him and get his reaction to the reaction. -Jim
And?

#C=A and Timothy Leary
Message #99571
I've received some strongly worded mail from Commodore users who object to any association C=A might have with Dr. Timothy Leary. Leary is supposed to be developing a software program/series called Mind Movies for the Amiga. Here's a portion of one message that I received: "[Leary] is associated with more…
