Dear Bill,
I just happened to notice your comments reguarding your disatisfaction
with Computer Shopper's lack of coverage of the Amiga at COMDEX. As
an avid Amiga lover myself, let me state that I TOTALLY agree with you.
However, since I am also Technical Editor of the magazine, and probably
one of John Anderson's closest associates, let me assure you that Mr.
Anderson did not deliberately leave out Amiga coverage at COMDEX because
of some personal vendetta. John spent HOURS at the Commodore booth and
came back with MUCH renewed respect for both the Amiga and Commodore.
While John is currently in charge of most Atari ST project in house here
at Computer Shopper, he also finds time to keep abreast of Amiga
developments and (as you will see in our October issue) is constantly
working with other computers as well.
The ommisions of Amiga material in the COMDEX Spring coverage that's
in the August issue were…shall we say directed from higher management.
John, while having some latitude in his reporting, is also under some
constraint. So, don't assume this was a deliberate attempt on John's part.
(to sabotage the Amiga). It wasn't. If you are unhappy about the coverage,
by all means DO complain. But be specific about the complaints, and direct
suggestions about how the coverage can be improved as well. Thanks for the
feedback!
