As was pointed out to me in e-mail I should have included an address for
Info World.

Here it is...

Letters
Info World
1060 Marsh Road
Menlo Park, CA  94025


or via e-mail at Compuserve:  73267,1537

MCI Mail: 259-4127

fax: (415) 328-1049



As a side note, I noticed the following in last weeks Info World rumors column,
by Robert X. Cringley (sp).

'New Tek was approached separately at Comdex by Apple and IBM, both offering
New Tek whatever it cost to do a version of the Toaster for their respective
systems.  New Tek turned down both offers on technical grounds.  Unlike the
Amiga, Macintoshes and PS/2s are not "video systems."  They just don't have
the ground-up designs needed to handle such a product.' 


Proof positive that it is not impossible to get them to acknowledge the Amigas
existance.


Mike
