For your information: In the German TV show called "WDR Computerclub" this Sunday morning they talked about the rivival of the Amiga. They showed the Amiga Magic package (A1200 with 170 HD) on the screen at the beginning of the show around five minutes. Later on they presented the A1200 and the A4000 (no tower). Gilles Bourdin was present and started a Scala MM300 demo on the A1200. He stated that the relaunch of the Amiga was an instant success and that they will sell around 100.000 A1200 this year. He added that they (AT) are on the Amiga fair this November in Cologne. It is called "Computer '95 with World of Amiga '95". After that there was an interview with Manfred Schmitt, president of ESCOM. Some statements of this interview: – Microsoft and Intel is a threat for the common market – Amiga is a cheaper alternative to Microsoft and Intel – As a reaction of the statement "Windows '95 = Apple '89" he said "Windows '95 = Amiga '85" – Effective multitasking, low resource comsuming, price less than 1000 DM Regards, Jurgen (on AutoPilot form Germany)
