#Commodore Responds
totally wrong and misguided depiction of the Amiga. And,
NewTek's Video Toaster is dependent on the Amiga's custom
chip technology.
* The Amiga offers the best "price/performance" for multimedia
computing solutions available today. In addition, the Amiga
provides "traditional" office computing applications and a
wide variety of entertainment packages. The Amiga also
provides options to read and write MS-DOS and MacIntosh files.
* This is the most exciting time in the history of Commodore
and Amiga computing. The company's visibility in the
microcomputer industry should increase significantly during
the next year as new programs, products, strategies and
applications mature.
Final Thoughts
We are taking specific steps to not only regarding this incident
but also to ensure that we regain more leverage and positive
coverage in the general media and reporting environment going
forward. To that end, we're planning some specific press events at
both World of Commodore and Fall Comdex. We've also begun an
intensive telephone contact campaign to strengthen our ongoing
relationships with hundreds of editors, reporters, and freelancers
who write about Commodore and the Amiga. We are committed to
increasing the flow of accurate information to these important and
influential media audiences.
In the meantime, please help us with the impressions precipitated
by the Robinson article; follow through on the recommendations
we've made in this correspondence.
Please consider faxing Mandi Griffies, in our corporate
communications department, copies of any correspondence you
generate on behalf of this effort and report subsequent media
feedback and results directly to her. Her fax number is (215)
431-9465. Thank you for your concern and partnership.
