	I hope you people at West Chester realize the wisdom of a
little extra money spent on intelligent support services.  We here
on the West Coast, including Electronic Arts, Aegis, and many other
developers and artists working with the Amiga, deserve and require
continued support for the Los Gatos facility.  A computer is made
from the sum total of the quality work done on the machine, and there
is a many-fold return on the dollar for local, direct, and frank
technical support for the people trying to do this quality work.
I realize you at West Chester are going to do your damndnest, but I
hope you can appreciate our desire for the healthy continuation of
the development and support work done at Los Gatos in the past few months.
A great deal of the Amiga's initial success has been due to the creative
work done there, and every effort you put in continuing that creativity
will return to you many times over.  There has been a dampening of
enthusiasm for the Amiga due to the problems reported here, but especially
due to the perception that Los Gatos is not getting the continued
support it deserves.  I am aware of one company that is suspending
work for the Amiga because of this perception, and even AutoDesk
had been contemplating work for the Amiga, but the diminishment of
Los Gatos support has caused one developer out here to say that they
are holding off on Amiga development as a result.  For the small
savings in operational expenses you get from diminishing Los Gatos
you get a massive future loss of revenue because there will be
a backlash of cancelled or postponed projects that otherwise would have
gone ahead for the Amiga.  This is irresponsible and unwise, and
I hope you will do your best to bolster the Los Gatos facility
even in this difficult period.
