PC WEEK is still trying to decide whether they think the PS/1 is a 
good idea or not.  For the last several weeks they are still split.
Some think it is a good package for the home user and the marketing
will make it successful.  Others think that potential buyers are too
savy to pay so much for so little.  The market will prevail of course
but you gotta wonder listening to the radio and TV commercials if they
aren't trying to sell too little for too much.

That said let me point out that PC WEEK (and other magazines) listen
to their readers and if their readers want coverage then eventually
they will get around to covering what their readers are interested in.
I called PC WEEK and tried to get a compuserve address for their editor.
He is Sam Whitmore and is currently between addresses right now.  The
assistant editor I talked to, Tony Pompili, said I could post his
address with the understanding that thousands of Amiga Fanatics would
not flood his mailbox with rude messages demanding PC WEEK change the
course of their reporting.  He is interested in hearing from us however,
and so if you want to talk to PC WEEK, drop them a line at 72631,22.
I sent a short, polite note asking them to consider including the Amiga in
articles on video and multi-media where the Amiga has several natural
advantages over the competition.

In addition, if you have specific information on demos, rumors, announcements,
or just plain corporate dirt, Spencer Kat is at 72631,107.  Spencer is
a pseudonym for a rumors column.  And if your rumor is published they send
a t-shirt or gym bag.
