- Like it or not, Phillip Robinson is syndicated, and his column appears
- in all major metropolitan areas. Thus, his "word" is seen by many (far
- more, in fact, than I would believe read comp.sys.amiga.* or ALL of the
- Amiga-related magazines combined).
-
- 8 years ago he WAS writing nice things about the Amiga; in his recent
- article he explained his frustrations and the fact Commodore reneged
- on promises of machines and hardware for review. I still have some of
- Phillip's early articles, and, in fact, his articles were one of the
- reasons I initially became so excited about the then-pending Amiga (this
- was back in 1984).

- I agree with you; the "Commodore Speaks" response was reposted en passant
- from some BBS (or whatever). It would be nice to see first-hand releases.
