    I was just reading the letters column of the May 1990 issue of Computer
 Graphics Review and noted with some sorrow the attitude of the "Author"
 towards a complaint from two readers about the lack of coverage of the
 Amiga in a recent article "Making sense of Multimedia".

	The response (quoted without permision) is as follows:

	"The Author replies: Without a question, the Amiga is an outstanding
multimedia platform with a loyal following, especially in the creative arts.
However, like it or not, multimedia will have to be available on the so-called 
'standard' platforms from IBM and Apple in order to be widely accepted by 
bussiness and industry. That was the focus of the article."

    I guess as long as authors/Editors have this attitude the rest of the
computer world might as well close up shop and quit. :) I wonder how the other
contenders in the multimedia race feel about this????

    Send all flames to where they will do some good (like to editors)
I know where my k key is.
