- For some, it's intentional. I've had discussions with more than one
- computer journalist who told me "Yes, I don't cover the Amiga on purpose."
- In the large case, though, I think it's a combination of their own
- laziness and Escom/AT's unwillingness to make information easily
- available. (How long was it before there was Web information in
- English? There is still no North American PR at all. Distribution is
- totally invisible to non-Amiga users. The Escom/AT "office" is just
- their lawyer's office.)

- : Would there be any way to document this?
-
- Yeah, collect every article you can find and notice they don't ever talk
- about the Amiga.
-
- : If so, could we get this out to the general public?
-
- No, not really, unless someone worked the information into the next Win95
- Maintenance Upgrade CD or maybe a Doom clone.
