   I don't buy the notion that lack of coverage of the Amiga in the media
is entirely Commodore's fault.  
 
   If a writer researches a topic and leaves out important platforms or
software that relate to the topic, the writer is at fault.
 
  If an editor edits the article written by above writer and does not provide
checks and balances for biased reporting, the editor is at fault. 
 
   If the reading public does not see the kind of information they've paid
for with their subscriptions and they don't inform the magazine, they give
up valuable opportunities to influence editorial direction.
 
  In spite of Commodore's lack of advertising, I had no trouble educating
myself about the Amiga.  Writers who choose to specialize in the
areas of microcomputers who fail to research the Amiga are irresponsible.
Period.
