WELCOME TO

Welcome back. It's amazing how all the events which happen in the Amiga World actually happen on an incredibly annoying timescale. That is, either 2 days before we release an issue, or 2 days after we release an issue.
The first one is the most irritating. I hate leaving out big pieces of news, which means I rush to include the news. The last one means that I often forget about the news, or just forget to finish a feature on it.
And it's happened again. OK, so I exaggerated a bit with the 2 day time scale, but two massively talked about events occurred just after Issue 4 was released. And those were the announcement of two new Amiga computers which are being manufactured by an apparently unlicenced 'new' company called IWin (www.iwin-corp.com).
And Jim Collas resigned from Amiga a couple of weeks after the event which led to a lot of believable conspiracy theories (and some not so believable ones). He was followed oh-so-closely by Bill McEwen, but under a different set of circumstances.
And the news with the most impact this issue has to be the 'Amiga Change of Direction' which has 'happened'. I won't give too much away here, because I'll end up making the news article harder to write, but we have given you a feature on this decision this issue, along with a feature about the IWin 'hoax'.
Anyway, that's it from me, enjoy reading the mag, and here's some useful addresses.
