   As I said in a previous message, I am sick and tired of people 
complaining about the Amiga not being mentioned in articles about
multimedia.  What do you expect from a machine that isn't being 
supported by the company that sells it??

   Don't write your letters to these magazines.  Write your letters
instead to Commodore!!  Pressure Commdore to get off their corporate
asses and start seriously pushing the Amiga in multimedia.  
 
   
If any magazines are going to take the Amiga seriously in
mutlimedia, they have to first know that it even exists.  Unfortunately,
most of them don't know that it exists.  Even if they do, they don't
know anything about its capabilities in multimedia.  It's not hard 
to figure out why these magazines seldom mention the Amiga:
the poeple who write the articles know nothing about it, whereas
they are inundated with material from Apple and IBM about 
the capabilities of thier systems with regard to multimedia.
 
   I am going to post this message to the list once a week until
I start getting results.  I am tired of everybody blaming the
business magazines when they leave the Amiga out of articles
about the Amiga.  The blame belongs to Commodore, and Commodore
alone.
