You're right, John. Commodore hasn't the clout to leverage news coverage with product release date, as Compaq or Apple have. OTOH, in this case it sounds like C= was working hard up to release just to get machines out the door. OTOOH (!), BYTE's dust-off treatment is starkly different than the cover treatment it gave the original A3000 and System 2. You have to believe there's just less Amiga understanding and interest among the current BYTE staff. I'm good friends with a fellow who just got promoted to a an editorial job at PC magazine. He's a PCer through and through, but open-minded. I've been feeding him full of Amiga talk for years and once even got him to go to an Amiga expo. His attitude toward the Amiga is quite respectful but he confesses to forgetting about it most of the time. No sinister motives; he's just caught up in the all the Windows/Intel clone hype, and there's more than enough activity there to capture his attention.
