#A Call To Arms!

Ah, now you started out on one point and ended on the oposite. I have no
objection to a dedicated community of users/developers/etc. joining together
for the common goal of furthering the Amiga—that idea is a good one.
However, (see, I told you there is always a however) you end up by saying it
is time to take matters into our own hands with Commodore. That is where the
rub is. I am sure that Commodre would be glad to listen to a dedicated
group—but anarchy (or something similar), I doubt it. Perhaps I
misunderstood your original message, but the way I read it you wished to
place people on the board of directors, start a proxy fight and in general
attempt to run the company. Read my reply in this same thread to Jim Myer re
the present discussion, that way I won't have to repeat it. BTW, if the
Computer Factory isn't stocking Amiga software, that is not Commodore's
fault–its Computer Factory's fault! The software is there and is
available–they just have to order it!!! Not just from Commodore, but from
all the present publishers who are selling Amiga software. My local dealers
(several of them) have lots of software in stock, all kinds!
The Computer Factory is the PITS!!! Their attitude is uppity, they have no
idea how good the Amiga is. You have to beg them to demo the machine and all
of their stores in Manhattan and Long Island collectively have no more than 4
software pkgs for the Amiga. I agree it's the Computer Factory's fault – but
I think perhaps C/A should re-examine some of their "chosen" dealers. By the
way, on the promotional end – I may have convinced the people in my office to
replace their dying LISA with an Amiga! Marlene
Perhaps C/A isn't aware of the problems with Computer Factory. They work
thru a series of 16 regional Reps, and the Reps are supposed to report to C/A
rather than C/A dealing directly with the dealers. BTW the Rep for NYC is (or
was–it may have changed although I doubt it) Norman Yohay Assoc., 8 Bond
St., Great Neck, NY 11021 ph 516-487-9640. Perhaps they can "pursuade"
Computer Factory to get its act together.
