    I did this once about two months ago. I sent about six weeks of
posts from advocacy and other groups that were pro and anti CBM, but mostly
negative towards CBM. And CBM responded publically with the Visp President
of Engineering post. I then ceased sending them mail, since my terms were
that CBM do something to reassure Amiga users that they listen.

    Now, they responded to the Robinson post. I see this as proof that
they are listening to the community. In fact, when I first started mailing
CBM I asked if they were receiving my articles and I received a one line
response that I thought was funny at the time. "Go ahead. We are listening. :)"


    CBM has publically stated that they want Amiga users to get involved
with their computers and its reputation, just as how one artist once offered
to make demo tapes of Amiga graphics, and how another offered to make print
ads for CBM for free. And others offered to send demos to dealers so that
people walking in the store can see something exciting that the Amiga can
do.

    Where does that leave us now?  We need all of you out there to get
involved by sending your ideas or complaints to CBM. If you can do print
ads, videos, publishing, etc, mail CBM and offer them help or creative ideas.
If you are good at complaining, email CBM and complain. If you are a
journalist, offer your services. If you want to tell them what a great job
they are doing, email them.

    I got my first developer kit today. I was pleased to find that I
will now be better able to gain access to technical info and stuff. But as
for what new systems or OSes CBM has, I am completely in the dark :). But
I do have one quip; they spelled my name wrong.

    Their email address is [e-mail], or
something like that. I used to have it in my sig file to encourage others
to email CBM. So get to it!
