For More Information: Wendie Marro Marketing Director Daniel Sullivan Editor-in-Chief 603-924-0100 AmigaWorld–The Leading Amiga Publication– Reinforces Position of Strong Support in Market Peterborough, NH (May 3, 1994) AmigaWorld, the independent, monthly consumer publication for users of Amiga personal computers, has announced today that recent events at Commodore Business Machines in no way affect AmigaWorld's commitment to the market. Responding to news on Friday, April 29, that Commodore was going out of business, AmigaWorld Editor-in-Chief Daniel Sullivan stated, "Regardless of any change in the status of Commodore's operations, AmigaWorld will continue to provide coverage of the Amiga market for its readership. We believe there are sound reasons to remain in the Amiga market — namely, an installed base of five million Amiga computers worldwide; a dedicated AmigaWorld readership of loyal, enthusiastic users; and an innovative, proactive group of third-party developers." Sullivan added, "We also feel certain that the technology will survive the liquidation of Commodore through licensing agreements with interested third parties — of which there appear to be many. This is an excellent opportunity for the Amiga community to take charge of its own destiny and set a direction for further development that Commodore has not been able to provide." The AmigaWorld staff views this situation as an opportunity to provide an even greater level of service to its readers and advertisers. With Commodore's departure from the market, customer service will become an even greater priority at AmigaWorld. The staff will continue to support everyone involved in the market through such means as phone support and on-line feedback. By providing strong customer service and up-to-date market coverage for readers, AmigaWorld hopes to be the catalyst for future growth and development in the Amiga community.
