 I can't help but put my two dollars in about this "fading Amiga" propaganda..
I have owned a A2000 since 1987 and have been using it contiuously and   
effortlessly.. I am now at Plymouth State College am am currently a 
"Student MacIntosh Represenative." This simply translates that I promote
and sell MacIntoshes... I am now giving up this position, as I have a    
distinct conflict of intrest. I have no complaints about the usefulness
of the MacIntoshes, but I do have a quarl over the prices attached to these
machines... The cost of the BOTTOM LINE machine (A Mac Plus) is $995..
One could easily outfit themselves with an Amiga 500 with many more benefits
at this price than the Plus... 
 As far as I know, I am the ONLY AMIGA USER ON CAMPUS! I am trying to change
this by means of demonstrations...

As for the Subject.. How can the "amiga's image" be fading when so many people
are taking so much interest in it..???

Comp.sys.amiga/PeopleLink/GEinie/Usergroups/Commodore's Ad campaign are
all tell tale signs that the Amiga is a growing productive tool that many
people are recognizing as an affordable alternative to higher (over)priced
machines.. These other machines offer less at the entry level and cost
more to exapand.. I think there are many people out there who dislike the
Amiga due to its versitility/flexibility, or , more to the point, its
price/performace..
