- LETTERS, Page 16Amiga Amigos

- Despite your assessment that Commodore's Amiga personal
- computer is "an aging star" with a "fading image" (BUSINESS,
- Oct. 30), it is, as most open-minded computer people know, the
- most creatively designed of all the PCs. It has suffered only
- because its brain-dead rivals have had the advantage of a much
- more effective marketing muscle behind them. Now that the
- company is finally taking steps to remedy this, you take a cheap
- shot at its efforts. That is dirty pool.

- As consumers become dissatisfied with the limitations of
- clone hardware and software, there is no reason to be
- pessimistic about the prospects for the Amiga. It can truly be
- said that a demand for fresh approaches and easier-to-use
- systems is what the Amiga is all about. The potential
- capabilities of the Amiga's architecture and operating system
- are still being discovered and developed, with all the best yet
- to come. "Just squeaking along," you say? Actually, the
- situation is quite the contrary. If Commodore doesn't fumble
- this opportunity, you may learn that the Amiga has the mouse
- that roars!
