- Now this is not a scientific poll or anything but I am an avid computer user
- and I come across a lot of folks with different types of computers. What the
- average non-techie type wants is a computer that can do all the wonderful
- entertainment things as well as for education and occupational things. So
- software availability makes computer platforms very important. At work a lot
- of people come to me and ask what type of computer should they buy. My first
- question is how much are you willing to spend and what is the main reason for
- your purchase. Remember a computer purchase is a major purchase in the in
- the 90's. Well I think that marketing is a very important key to success.
- The Amiga is a good platform and if software makers can comeback and develope
- for it maybe the death is being a bit premature. I personally, am very
- disappointed in Escom. Amiga owners have been patient,very patient. I
- really hope that Escom can win their confidence. I presently don't own an
- Amiga anymore I switched to a Pentium 75 with 16megs and 1.975 G hard drive
- and this system only cost $2400.00 a year ago (that's including monitor).
- Please Escom let's try some marketing. Ask the guy in Oregon does marketing
- work. We all take shots at Bill Gates but wouldn't we like for someone
- like him to be in charge of the Amiga!!! Bill is all American. Agressive and
- makes plenty of money for the investors!!! Hey that last point is vital!! We
- live in a free market society. A company must make money. All you A500
- single disk drive users must upgade to newer Amigas. Amiga owners must
- adbandon thier older machines and older software/ hardware . Show the money
- boys that the Amiga users are willing to put $$$$$$ where their loyalty is.
- If this happens I will buy an equivalent of the A4000. I can use two
- computers.

- Good Luck Amiga .....You have been given a bad break...all dressed up and no
- place to go !!!
