- I agree. I find very hard to believe how awful the us marketting of the amiga
- is. I know it could use it effectively.
-
- I personally have pushed 2 people in buying an amiga, and me and a user group
- is working on having a local community college to buy atleast 4 amigas.
-
- Of the 2 that have already been sold is an a600 to a brother's friend that want
- to buy a game machine. And another one of my brother's friends that wanted
- a game machine and computer, instead of buying an ibm I convinced to get an
- a1200, and in the future pick up an ibm emulator for it.
-
- The community college, has a unix mainfrain and several x terminals and
- several ibms, and no Ibm. We have convinced most of the professors that
- set the system up to get 4 amiga a4000s, and various extras like ethernet
- and maybe the x11 software for it. It would be used by a class that is
- working on marketting too, it will be used for multimedia presentations.
- And to be used for motorola assembly programming class. And with enough
- use they might buy more.
