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.
John Boylan

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!
