CBM/ATARI Stocks
Message #105419
I never thought I would see this: Atari stock price is over Commodore's… Just checked and CBU is at 2.750 and ATC is at 2.875. Just 2 months ago Atari was worth less than 1.00 but since the announcement of the vapor Jaguar (RISC, 32-bit, 16.8 mil colors, DSP, for…
I'll check for you (version). Docs are included as is the original box. I'll get back to you.

It was about 3 minutes…I expected to see a longer spot on either Entertainment this Week or Science and Technology this week. I was at a business seminar all weekend and was unable to watch CNN on Saturday or Sunday…Did anyone see anything about the A4000 Toaster?
Nope…only rumors and such. 4000T should be coming soon though. You know…like Real Soon Now. Wait and see.
#Amiga/Toaster on CNN
Message #97670
Did anyone see the GREAT clip on the Toaster 4000 on CNN Headline News? Just saw it a few minutes ago and get this… THEY ACTUALLY MENTIONED THE AMIGA!!! They called it the Commodore Amiga-based Video Toaster. I was blown away. They showed the Video Toaster doing some great things,…
Mr. Dionne has done exceptionally well at following Ali's and Gould's orders, to the extent that he has had the longest tenure as Commodore USA's president. When sales went up under his predecessors, the found themselves in the street. Obviously, they were not following orders from Ali and Gould. Why…
I have the Commodore A2090 that is both MFM and SCSI. You can't add RAM to this one, but I know it works in an expansion chassis hanging on the side of an Amiga 1000. Make me an offer. I have all the cables, you just need to hook up…
I'm selling the original 40MB HD that came in my A1200 (replaced it with a 120MB HD). The price I am asking is $150. It comes with the cable and it is preformatted with NO errors. Reply here, EMail or call (602)459-7627. By the way…the A1200 is an AWESOME machine!!!
Count me in for a vote of support on the letter. As for supporting the contents of the letter, I'll give that after I've seen it. I think we need to schedule a live conference reference this topic so that we can hash out the main points of the letter…
Been using EPU for a few days. With the results I have had I can't recommend its use. It sometimes compresses files, and sometimes it doesn't. Nothing in the Docs explains this. I will be taking it off my system due to a strange event last night. Since I've been…
I am the president of a small Amiga Users Group so I know what you mean about lack of funds. But with a few fund raisers and if the group's bought the stock a small piece at a time. Heck, right now it's down to $4.90 a share. If the…
An idea I've had for a few years is this, and it might actually be practical. I propose that users groups start buying Commodore stock in small blocks. They can hold fund raisers, etc. The neat thing is that they actually might be able to make money from their investment.…
I completely agree with you. The Amiga 4000/030 should be priced at an MSRP of $1500 with a street price of $1200 at the most. They have to realize that most people are comparing the price of Amiga with clones not true blue IBM or Macs. IBM has been holding…
I believe it is the EC030…I haven't seen the press release yet, but Commodore says I should get it by Monday. The data was March 19 so I can't really understand why it hasn't been seen by more people. The person I spoke with at Commodore, an extremely reliable source…
#Amiga 4000/030!!
Message #93051
AMIGA 4000/030 SHIPPING SOON!! Talked to Commodore yesterday…the Amiga 4000/030 mailers are going out now. Press release was dated last week (why haven't we seen it?) 25mhz 68030, 2mb Chip Ram, 2mb Fast Ram, etc. MSRP around $2300. Street price around $1800-$1900.
I just got my A1200 and DPaint IV AGA. Although much different from the other Amiga's I've used, the A1200 is an awesome machine. Problems, You've got to get used to the new graphics modes. You've got to think about graphics differently now, but with a pallette of 16.8 million…
You mentioned a Parnet file in AmigaUser Comms called Parbench. I've been there many times over the past few days and haven't seen it there. How long ago was it uploaded?
Changing to supported screen modes and I don't have any of the promotion hacks you speak of. Thanks.
I can't get PARNET to work at all. I'm doing everything from the Shell. Npnet-server runs fine. Then I mount net:. But when I cd net:dh0 it freezes up and I have to reboot. I know the cable is fine, I used it to network two other machines together. Hmmmmm…

I LOVE AGA!! Just got my Amiga 1200 today and I love the new graphics modes….But…there's always a but…I have a few comments, complaints, etc and since you work for Commodore, you might be able to help me out. First…Where the heck is my AmigaDos 3.0 manual. I didn't get…
Actually, I had one (A Sidecar) and sold it to my brother with my old Amiga 1000. I put an IBM type HD controller in it and a 30 meg HD and it is still working great. He seems somewhat content with it except for wanting more power, power, power…but…
to admit it to myself," attitude.
Commodore should contact TIME magazine and purchase the rights to the picture. They should then blow it up to poster size and make it available to Amiga users. Sell like hotcakes, I bet. I'd buy one.

#Amiga in CompuBug
Message #71938
I wrote Larry Blasko a letter and he actually replied. I pointed out that excluding the Amiga because it wasn't one of the top two, but one of the top three platforms wasn't really cool. I also pointed out that a $1800 '486 might seem like a good bargain until…
#Amiga Dead/P. Robinson
Message #64198
For those of you Amiga users who, like me, were appalled at the utter misinformation included in Phillip Robinson's recent editorial in the San Jose Mercury News, I think I've got his CIS User number. With this you can quickly type up a message to him and if you have…
Can you give me the name/phone number of your dealer that has a copy of the Amiga launch video. VHS is OK, I guess. I am also working on a video project and I have been looking for that video. Please reply soon.
I previously left a message here requesting information on other Amiga user groups. I am the president of the new SouthEast Arizona Amiga User Group and we're looking to beef up the content of our newsletters. I suggested that we form some type of network between user groups so that…
If WordPerfect Amiga had compared favorably with the other available Amiga word processors in both price and quality, you would have had a good selling software package on your hands. Because your market ing researchers didn't have the brains to realize that Amiga users are just not going to pay…
Could you give me more information on where you are getting your user group support from. You said that you had some type of number at Commodore and you received product announcements, etc. Would like to get in touch with whoever is helping you out so I can get some…
I am located in Arizona. I've got a very good contact with Commodore marketing, who apparently is taking over the User Group thing. They have no definite plans or anything yet, but they do and have sent me brochures (100's) and Video Tapes. That's great for supporting me, but what…
#Amiga User Groups
Message #38095
The people I've talked to at Commodore say that they've dropped\ user group support. The marketing division is talking about implementing something but nothing as of yet. Does anyone get any User Group support from Commodore? If you do, could you tell me who to talk to there. I have…
I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but when I spoke to Wordperfect a couple of days ago they said that they had dropped any product development for the Amiga. They attributed this to lack of sales in the Amiga market. I told them that for Amiga word processors, Wordperfect was…
Thanks for the reply. Strangely, the machine suddenly started working right. One day it didn't, the next day it did. It's been running for at least 2 days now without any problems. Don't know what the prob was, hope it doesn't come back. Now I've got another problem, but I…

Greg, Hey, I just bought Denny Atkins' Rejuvenated Amiga 1000, But I am having some problems with it. Hopefully you might be able to offer some insight and answers as to what might be causing the problems and how to corrent them. First, when I received his computer I plugged…

Would you be interested in selling the 105meg Quantum ProDrive seperately? Let me know. Call 1-602-458-8082
I WANT THIS SYSTEM!!! Please call me ASAP so we can talk about it. My Home phone is 1-602-458-8082 and my Work phone is 1-602-538-8911. We'll make some kind of deal. I've got a 1000 with a Sidecar (ancient, yes) but it works perfectly with an XT 30 meg Hardcard…
So you are judging the Amiga community on the "piss poor" games that were ported over from MS-DOS. That's REAL intelligent. I hate ports because it is obvious that the software companies writing them don't have even a vague idea of what the Amiga is capable of. Fine, go buy…

Sidecar
Message #5064
I had one for sale, but I sold it to my brother instead (cheap little jerk if you ask me.) Now we both have SideCars and they work great. Just keep your eyes open, you're bound to run into one. I bought the one I sold my brother for $40.…
Since Haitex burnt down, there has been no support for the X-specs except for the few PD/Shareware Programs (which happen to be excellent). Online here I found a program that accepts Sculpt 3D scenes and objects and renders them in X-specs 3D. Also, check out Opticks, a slow raytracer that…
I've done it before. Get a public domain program which will allow you to capture any graphic screen image on the IBM. The one I had was loaded as a TSR into the IBM and then activated by a combination of keys. It beeped when it was done and saved…
X-Specs 3D Glasses
Message #37647
I am looking for any PD/Shareware stuff that works with the Haitex X-Specs, 3D Glasses. I just got a pair and they are really wild, but I, of course, want more!! I am looking for any pictures, games, and animations. Upload or we can work out something. Thanks.
Please do send it to me. I sent away for a commercial KickBench type of thing because I had heard not so glorious things about the PD and Shareware versions. When you send your startup-sequence, please also send a listing of your c directory so that I can make sure…
Oh! I just thought of a problem I have been having, maybe you can give me some insight. I had the old SideCar (recently received a factory new one, much different) and it allowed me to choose either PC-Color or PC-Mono from Workbench. The new one seems to have a…
I know that (memory under drive is Amiga memory). I just think that there might be a way to rig it up with more Amiga memory without tracking down one of the rare 2000 cards. (never heard of 'em) All of my sockets on the motherboard (SideCar's) are filled and…
I will check the disks that Commodore sent me with the SideCar, but I am not sure that those two programs (Amouse) are on them. I will look though. Also, if there is a place to add memory in the SideCar, then it can't be too hard to rig something…
