- Do you have any back issues of Commodore Magazine? Take a look at the last
- few issues. I forget exactly which one it is, but one of the last two or three
- issues has a letter by me, urging people to write Word Perfect Corp. about
- their decision to pull Amiga support. The issue of AmigaWorld for the same
- month has the same letter from me.
-
- I wish I could name the dates and issue numbers for the magazines that have
- my letter, but I can't. I only have about half of my magazine collection here
- at home. The rest is at my apartment. I could not find the issue among the
- ones I have here.

- I was your typical Commodore-can-do-no-wrong Amigoid for a long, long time.
- It took a lot to change me.
