AC News ESCOM Wins- 4Now
Message #194800
"My subscription is coming due. I need to choose my renewal option. Will The AC Guide be published this summer?" AC's GUIDE is opn hold until we have a resolution with the Commodore deal. So far, we have no information to forward to the developers to add to their confidence.…
OK, According to today's Philadelphia Inquiry article by Dan Stets, ESCOM is interested in continuing production of Amigas. They will build them in China. More to come, when available. Don Hicks Managing Editor Amazing Computing
WAIT! The information we currently have is still being developed. It would be premature and even unfair to discount either the UK interest or CEI. According to an article in this morning's Philadelphia Inquirer by Dan Stets, "Another likely bidder, Creative Equipment International, of Miami, apparently teamed up with Dell…

From Amazing Computing For The Commodore Amiga According to our source at the Commodore Auction in New York today, initial bidding was made by only two companies, ESCOM of Germany and DELL Computer. There were sixty attendees at the auction. Most of the attendees were previous stockholders, creditors, and other…

IF they carried AW, they will be stocking AC at least in the future. Thanks Don Hicks Managing Editor Amazing Computing
AC is in most Waldens, Crown Books, Barns & Nobels, B Daltons, Better Amiga Dealers, and more. Now with AW leaving, we should see even better distribution. Don Hicks Managing Editor Amazing Computing

Denny, Please make this correction to that other net. According to AW's Statement of Ownership in their December issue, the total number of paid and or requested subscription on an average for the past 12 months was 62,212 (the latest issue was 52,000). AC's average for the same time period…

You are right. I should point out that Canadian postal rates are higher and that postal rates (both US and Canada) change frequently. Don Hicks Managing Editor Amazing Computing

Sorry Denny, but if you are going to take a shot like that, be specific. Amazing Computing has always had an open door policy to criticism. Send me a letter with your concerns. Until now, I have never heard a discouraging word from you. So how would I know you…

Great idea, However it is almost impossible tog get someone to state "FOR THE RECORD" that they are out of the business. Where possible, we will. Thanks, Don
Uh, when did this demo occur?
David The October issue of Amazing Computing for the Commodore (that will change shortly) Amiga contains a four page exclusive interview with Alex. He discusses his plans and his hopes for the Amiga. This interview was only fair, since we started the CBM Buyout competition with our David Pleasance Interview…
The Journey Man is longer being made. The demand wasn't there and the company couldn't supply the keind of machine that a portable Amiga should be. The company in Germany mentioned in AMigaWorld seems to have things under control. It is a real laptop like we wanted to make but…
Hello John! I thought it might be you. Happy Holidays.
Oh, but what a beautiful thought!! 'Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged…' Sure there is plenty of talent out there. Besides the original crew are probably fed up with Commodore anyways.
#Commodore in FORBES!
Message #72843
In the November 13 issue of Forbes there is an article about Commodore, the Amiga, and how Irving Gouldhas blown it. It says that he doesn't even spend three days a week running Commodore International. I fhe spends more than 3 days in the US then the IRS can tax…

AMIGA IN TIME!
Message #71933
I don't know much about advertising and what I would like to see in the ads probably goes against what half of everyone else thinks. But, ADWEEK gave the Amiga ad campaign something like a 3 1/2 out of 4 rating along with other 'experts' in the ad field. If…
ME TOO!!! Let's swamp 'em with letters! Let's voice our opinion! -=Mike Mo=
The Amiga technology may be old. But that just shows how much ahead of anyone else the Amiga is. The other guys are still trying to multitask in a small amount of RAM. The Amiga has been around for four years and still dusts the competition. It's old hat for…

#70453-"New" A500s
Message #71929
I heard or read or imagined that somebody or someone somewhere said something about a 2meg card that fits in the A501 slot for A500s. Sounds great, but I didn't think they had the right lines to do it there. -=Mike Mo=
Let's hope so. I agree that the author didn't look at the Amiga. It appears that he wanted to look at the industry from the money (sales) side. The author wasn't concerned with the performance of any of the machines. We still have 'em all beat in the price/performance. -=Mike…

AMIGA IN TIME!
Message #71927
It would seem that Time is a good place for the Amiga ads. I think many proffesionals read Time. The article seemed to be down on the computer industry in general. The thing that torques me off is they make the Amiga sound like old technology. Granted, it's not the…
AmiExpo Show On!!
Message #70186
As received from the AmiEXPO organization: 10/18/89 8:28 A.M. This is thier FAX posted exactly as we received it: Dear AmiEXPO Exhibitor: We are pleased to announce that AmiEXPO-California is ON SCHEDULE for this weekend, October 20-22, at the Santa Clara Convention Center and DoubleTree Hotel. We have been in…
I read some rumors on a local board that USA Today (the TV mag) had something about the Amiga last Tuesday when –=I=– was watching Entertainment Tonight. I hope I get to see these things sometime. There seems to be so many rumors, and nothing from CBM, of Lucas Films.…
Yeah, it was a 2000 (or 2500). Did I say it was another model? If so sorry, I meant A2000. Either way it is nice to see that there are Amigans out there in the right spots who can talk thier Amigas into the spotlights. -=Mike Mo=-
Ethan, I have to agree with you. The Amiga has to sell this Christmas. It has benn too much talk and not enough action from CBM (untill recently). It is time to put up or shut up. We all want it to happen. I've heard the commercials are great. I…
ALL RIGHT!!! I heard it was the week of Oct 16. I'll be home watching!!! Thanks PS: An A2000 was on Alf last night. He was playing the stock market with Ami. -=Mike Mo=
I heard there is a big press conference tomorrow introducing the ads. -=Mike Mo=-
Well, lets hope that doesn't happen. CBM has just opened a office in DC to help get the Amigas into government (this could be a rumor). The A500 is a great machine for the money, and as long as the ads are decent (they should be great, thanks George!), they…
I heard that the week of Oct 16 (the week the ads start) is when the Entertainment Tonight spots will run. Sounds great! -=Mike Mo=-
It should be interesting. All the hype from the new ad capaign will just be hitting. I can't wait to see a 'real' Amiga commercial on TV! Then I can say 'That's the computer we produce products for!'. As far as I can tell this 4th quarter is make or…

Message #68478
Thes Amiga Zone thing at the end of my message was just a habbit I picked up a long time ago. It never had any relationship to a board. I've never logged onto the zone. Just a little slip of the fingers. Amiga Zone inmy head was a vision of…
Steve I heard the developers got the rights to there software back. If this is true then there are some nice pieces of software looking for a home. My company is small but we distribute 4 pieces of software and 1 piece of hardware. We are also working on several…

Nick, Just for your edification and delight, Amazing Computing does not have the "cards" for two reasons. 1. We wanted letters from readers. The best way to gauge reader response is from their letters, so we made it impossible to subscribe to AC without writing at least something. @. We…
