- First Annual Commodore Deathbed Vigil Party T-Shirts Available
-
-
- We're writing to you from the site of the Commodore Deathbed Vigil
- party, April 30, 1994. People are driving in from all over the east
- coast, some are flying in, AmigaWorld is sending a reporter, Dave
- Haynie, Gail Wellington, Intuition Guru Peter Cherna, Carolyn Scheppner,
- Jeff Porter, Andy Finkel, Bryce Nesbitt and dozens more are all here.
- The flag at the Commodore plant is flying at half-mast.
-
- We ask you to dim your monitors to half-brightness in respect for
- the passing of Commodore. Today is a day of world-wide
- mourning for the Amiga, and a day for prayers for a quick sale
- of the Amiga technology to one of the several interested bidders.
- As hard as this is for all of us, we realize that only by cycling
- through bankruptcy could the technology be sold.
-
-
-
- In the spirit of the great Amiga wake parties of the past we've just
- designed a Deathbed Vigil T-Shirt. It plays on the NewTek spin-off
- "Play" button, and Scala's "Fast Forward" shirt. Ours has an eject
- button with the words "Commodore Deathbed Vigil April 30, 1994." The
- back will be signed by members of the Commodore development team, most
- of the original Amiga design team, Commodore employees as of the last
- week and people of the party.
-
- The shirt is $15 for partygoers, and $19 for anyone else. $4 shipping
- in the USA and Canada, $8 international. We're using Obvious
- Implementation's order processing facilities (OIC is also offering a
- discount on the brand new DICE compiler 3.0, just released last week).
-
- Call 1-800-761-2042 to order by phone. Send email to "info@oic.COM"
- for an electronic mail order form. Or send check or money order to:
-
- Obvious Implementations Corporation
- PO Box 4487
- Cary, NC 27519-4487

- Bryce Nesbitt
- Andy Finkel
- John Toebes
- And the remaining staff of Commodore-Amiga
- Writing to you from the Commodore Deathbed Vigil, April 30 1994.
