Yeah! I think, you're right. (Strange, two germans talking in English)
I read c't since the first issue and I'm addicted to it. Even stranger
to see, that a Commo official is praising c't (only 5 - 10 % are about 
the Commo Amiga and they've been real Atari freaks for
almost three years (Uni Hannover supports their PEARL project on Atari 
Computers and Heise Verlag (the publisher) is in Hannover :-) )
But, if you want a special magazine for the Commo Amy, you should 
choose the 'Amiga Magazin' from Markt&Technik (this is the magazine,
which published the interview with Helmut Jost). Though they do have
a large part about games, there are also many interesting articles 
about Amiga Tech and Amiga News.

 HAH! WHAZAT? You look TV? You remarked the german unification?
GO BACK TO YOUR COMPUTER!!!!!
No, seriously! It's REALLY good to see, that even the guys at the
Computer companies don't think allways about 'How make it faster and
cheaper? How to beat *B* and App__ ? Keep up the good work!
