I was pleasantly surprised today when the January 1992 issue of Business Publishing (formerly Personal Publishing) arrived. The lead article was "Shopping for Something New? Check out the Amiga, Atari, Unix, NeXT". For a magazine that focuses almost exclusively on the Mac and IBM platforms, the part of the article that focuses on the Amiga (1 2/3 pages) was well written and accurate for the most part. It was also very complimentary to the machine, calling the Amiga, "a versatile performer". Other quotes from the article: "But, the capabilities that enable it to excel as a video graphics workstation make the Amiga a powerful alternative for desktop publishing as well. It offers the speed and processing power of much more expensive computers in a system that's easy to use and versatile." "The selection of design and publishing programs…isn't as broad as what's offered for the Macintosh and PC. The applications that are available, however, have features and capabilities every bit as capable as products such as Aldus Corp.'s Pagemaker." "People who have not used the Amiga…dismiss it as a toy or game machine because they're aware of Commodore's reputation with products like the C64… But, the Amiga is hardly a toy." (Typist's note: BE STILL MY HEART! 🙂 I don't want to get into copyright trouble, so I suggest everyone interested pick up a copy of Business Publishing. I plan on writing a letter thanking them for the exposure in their magazine, and I ask that anyone who feels strongly about it to do the same. While I'm at it, I'll probably ask if it wouldn't be too much to spend a page a month on the 'other platforms' mentioned above. Finally, the cover of the magazine featured a neat computer-generated design. Could the Amiga have accomplished the same thing as jaggy-free on film? – via Whap!
