Here are some questions from my dealer: When does C= plan to fulfill its initial promise to allow Chip RAM on the A4000 beyond the factory installed 2 meg? What is happening with the production of current C= products such as monitors – i.e. why can't dealers get them through distributors? Why doesn't C= take advantage of the airing of SeaQuest and Babylon 5 to promote the Amiga? Why has C= abandoned the dealers as far as tech support goes, leaving it SMG, which charges dealers $325 a year plus $20 a phone call? Here are some questions from me: Why have we not seen the DSP board or a derivative thereof if C= liscensed the technology approx. a year ago, and how will the liscensing of this and other technologies to 3d party companies affect their inclusion in future Amigas? How about donating a few dozen fully loaded A4000Ts – with cooperation from NewTek, ASDG, SunRize, and so on – to several of the top liberal arts colleges in the country, such as Williams, Amherst, and others, in order to stir up interest and business? Does C= expect to have the capital to market the next Amiga in such a way that will assure sales beyond the current core base of Amiga owners? When will WB3.1 be available, and will it be a universal upgrade? This is very important to insure that future software supports the full capabilities of the Amiga.
