The first thing CBM has to do is to talk to their distributors to handle the Amiga as a real computer! When I ask the so called "distributors" in my hometown Wuerzburg/Germany for a computer they all would tell you to buy an IBM or compatible. The Amiga is - by the opinion of many people - a computer for playing games, for children. Noone sees the very nice Operating System (OS >= 2.0) or the nice software that does exist on the Amiga.
STOP PCs!! AMIGA FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
