- AmigaWorld--The Leading Amiga Publication--
- Reinforces Position of Strong Support in Market
-
- Peterborough, NH (May 3, 1994) AmigaWorld, the independent, monthly
- consumer publication for users of Amiga personal computers, has announced
- today that recent events at Commodore Business Machines in no way affect
- AmigaWorld's commitment to the market.
-
- Responding to news on Friday, April 29, that Commodore was going out of
- business, AmigaWorld Editor-in-Chief Daniel Sullivan stated, "Regardless of
- any change in the status of Commodore's operations, AmigaWorld will
- continue to provide coverage of the Amiga market for its readership. We
- believe there are sound reasons to remain in the Amiga market -- namely, an
- installed base of five million Amiga computers worldwide; a dedicated
- AmigaWorld readership of loyal, enthusiastic users; and an innovative,
- proactive group of third-party developers."
-
- Sullivan added, "We also feel certain that the technology will survive the
- liquidation of Commodore through licensing agreements with interested third
- parties -- of which there appear to be many. This is an excellent
- opportunity for the Amiga community to take charge of its own destiny and
- set a direction for further development that Commodore has not been able to
- provide."
-
- The AmigaWorld staff views this situation as an opportunity to provide an
- even greater level of service to its readers and advertisers. With
- Commodore's departure from the market, customer service will become an even
- greater priority at AmigaWorld. The staff will continue to support
- everyone involved in the market through such means as phone support and
- on-line feedback. By providing strong customer service and up-to-date
- market coverage for readers, AmigaWorld hopes to be the catalyst for future
- growth and development in the Amiga community.
-
- AmigaWorld Magazine is published by TechMedia Publishing, Inc., an
- International Data Group company. IDG is the world's foremost publisher of
- computer-related information and the leading global provider of information
- services on information technology, with over 194 computer publications in
- 62 countries.
