- The previously posted comments of SMG and Mr. Metz of Amiga Technologies
- supports my prior contention that the return of the Amiga 1200 to the
- U.S. is permanently two months away.
-
- I hate to be cynical, because nothing would make me happier than to see
- the Amiga thrive in North America. However, the longer it takes to get
- product back into the U.S., the less demand there will be. I would have
- bought a new Amiga last summer, as my Amiga 500 was not up to the task of
- a new consulting contract I landed. Since there was no product to buy, I
- (with considerable sadness) had to buy another type of computer. The
- longer AT screws around with North America, the bleaker the Amiga's
- prospects. Keeping the faithful permanently two months away from new
- product only makes for bad feelings. If AT REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wanted
- to make Amigas for the North American market, I'm sure they would product
- here now. The problem is, they really don't want to.
