Well if NewTek did take over the US marketing of the Amiga, and I doubt it would happen, I would only approve of it IF they actually marketed it as a computer. Not a video machine, video workstation, DTV platform, or whatever. Sure, they can mention it as being an advantage of using the Amiga to have these capabilities, but I want to see it marketed as a technically advanced home computer with great graphics, sound, and multimedia capability. If they want to market it as a Toaster workstation or DTV platform, then the marketing should be entirely seperate, one direction for the Amiga, and the other for the 'Toaster'. And what about the OS and hardware development? Surely CBM wouldn't be too worried about it when their marketing would shift to the European's and the game crowd. And NewTek hasn't exactly been great with developer support. So I see a lot of problems if something like this did happen and could be the final stake through the Amiga's heart. I would much rather see CBM doing a decent job of marketing the Amiga instead of keeping it a secret from the computing world, but maybe it's too late for that also.
