#C=A and Timothy Leary
This message turned up in search, but its forum couldn’t be identified from the original transcript, so it may not be linked into its thread.
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 burnt out brains and deaths [drug] than anyone since the Vietnam
War effort."
Obviously, the writer wasn't pleased with Leary's supposed association with
the Amiga (as he went on to say). All of the folks I've talked with so far
have said they wouldn't buy the package just because Leary's name would be
on it. Others have said (vehemently!) that they'd boycott C=A for further
purchases. Anyone care to comment?
