First Annual Commodore Deathbed Vigil Party T-Shirts Available We're writing to you from the site of the Commodore Deathbed Vigil party, April 30, 1994. People are driving in from all over the east coast, some are flying in, AmigaWorld is sending a reporter, Dave Haynie, Gail Wellington, Intuition Guru Peter Cherna, Carolyn Scheppner, Jeff Porter, Andy Finkel, Bryce Nesbitt and dozens more are all here. The flag at the Commodore plant is flying at half-mast. We ask you to dim your monitors to half-brightness in respect for the passing of Commodore. Today is a day of world-wide mourning for the Amiga, and a day for prayers for a quick sale of the Amiga technology to one of the several interested bidders. As hard as this is for all of us, we realize that only by cycling through bankruptcy could the technology be sold. In the spirit of the great Amiga wake parties of the past we've just designed a Deathbed Vigil T-Shirt. It plays on the NewTek spin-off "Play" button, and Scala's "Fast Forward" shirt. Ours has an eject button with the words "Commodore Deathbed Vigil April 30, 1994." The back will be signed by members of the Commodore development team, most of the original Amiga design team, Commodore employees as of the last week and people of the party. The shirt is $15 for partygoers, and $19 for anyone else. $4 shipping in the USA and Canada, $8 international.
