On the other hand, in "Computer Graphics Today", responding to a reader's
letter offering a review of the Amiga:

'To ... charitable readers who have volunteered to write about their
Commodore Amigas for us ..., our prayers have been answered by Commodore
itself.  Hardly a week after publication date we were contacted by Lauren
Brown of Commodore, who said a review Amiga was on the way.  The
evaluation will be the basis of an article later this year.  Thanks for
listening Commodore.  You made our day.'
