Has anyone noticed how most new, revolutionary computers (and some 
not-so-revolutionary ones) get scores of pages of technical data and
performance information written about them in BYTE magazine, yet the MAY, 1990
edition with the AMIGA3000 as the cover story has 3 pages of information
regarding this new machine.

I am really surprised, considering way back in 1985 BYTE had a magnificent
coverage of the Amiga1000 (then just the Amiga) and the way that it throws
accolades at boring old IBM compatibles (no they haven't yet exhausted ways
of using this ancient technology).  Why only 3 pages?  Can someone from BYTE
possibly answer this for me?

Or possibly is there a better review coming up in future editions of BYTE, in
which case I would ask the question "Why did BYTE make this minimal story their
Cover Story?".
