Asha,
Appreciate it very much.
We haven't been in a position to say anything formally until yesterday. Now it
is a matter of contacting as many dealers as possible, in as short a time as
possible. The press releases went out to most major news papers and magazines
yesterday as well.
All of the major dealers have already been contacted. We hope to have the many
more done today.
Thanks for your help.

This is good news! I've posted your press release in the Amiga General Echo
in FidoNet and on Comp.sys.amiga.misc on Usenet. I included the notice to
cross-post it further also.
While I've got your attention, do you have any idea when the T/060s will be
shipping? I know Moto's been slow releaseing chips, but I've got my heart set
on an '060 model and this empty credit card burning a hole in my wallet….:)

Asha,
There is a new processor in the works.
Petro Tyschtschenko will be holding a press conference at the Video Toaster
Expo on November 2nd.
He should be providing more details at that time.
That's all we can say for the moment.

Yes, I read that in the press announcement. Wish I could attend. But I'm
sure that someone will report here what happened! 🙂

Hi Paul.
Are you with SMG?
I contacted Steve a few weeks back for Amiga info.
I faxed a bio sheet and a copy of my resale certificate.
I have yet to have been contacted.
You can fax me the info at 609-625-0472

Good to read this. Even though being European resident I mostly appreciate AT's
long awaited statement that they will really cover the US market. The Amiga
wouldn't stand a chance if it was "Europe only", IMHO.
