Computer Graphic World has decided to acknowlege the existence of the
amiga.  Rick Cook has an excellent article in the July issue, well
worth a look.  Random quotes:

"A close look at the Amiga reveals that it has some unique architectural
features that give it some special strengths in animation and video 
applications.  And the software available for those applications is
excellent."

"...CAD and desktop publishing software lags far behind what's available
for other computers."

"Running a multi-tasking operating system without hardware memory
protection is the equivalent of doing a high-wire act without a net."

"If technical excellence was all that counted, the Amiga would be well
on the road to success."

"This kind of competition [with Apple and the MS-DOS worlds] will point
up two of Commodore's greatest weakness -- its marketing and support
capabilities"  (Whatever do you suppose he means?)

"The Amiga's ultimate success in the personal computer market is going 
to depend largely on how well Commodore can address its problems."
(We could be in real trouble here guys!)
