Well, as far as I am concerned....this new multimedia magazine can go to
HELL. All they do is promise and promise and do not produce.     I mean
somehow they are thinking that turning into a multiformat magazine will
pull  them from the ashes and rescue them from the grave that the downfall
of the AMIGA has placed them into.   Well, I think they are wrong.   What
really put them in the grave was there severe lack of professionalism such
as continually being late.

I think alot of people are forgetting about the Amiga,   despite of it
being a brilliant machine.  I don't get off in bagging IBM's.  That will do
nothing to get Amiga back on its feet.......what is needed is for facts to
be given.  Has anyone here used Windows and MS DOS.  Compareing that to the
Amiga's operating system should show many people how superior the Amiga is
to the IBM.     Also, realise that Workbench is full 32 bit
O/S........Win3.11 is 16 bit and this so called mighty Windows 95 is only
enhanced 16 bit.    And I can safely say that the Full Pre-Emptive
multitasking on the AMIGA is brilliant, and something the IBM user will
never experience to the same pleasure then the Amiga provides.

What else does Amiga have...well, with graphics we are still a long way
ahead! Imagine, Lightwave, DPaint5, Photogenics, Brilliance,  Art
Department Pro etc. Sure the IBM has some of these too,  but has anyone
ever compared the versions of Imagine on the different platforms.   The
Amiga kicks!    There is also the benifit of plugging the Amiga straight
into a TV  or  VCR which cost a fortune on the IBM.    And what about the
Video Toaster.     The Amiga also comes with sound as standard,      with
most of the brilliant sound packages being public domain.  And although the
sound is only 8 bit, 4 channel it is quite brilliant to see the potential
of this system.

I know most of you know this already!

Anyway there is plenty PLENTY more I could go on about but the point of
what I am saying is this.......With Viscorp now in control of Amiga
Technologies, and the POWERPC AMIGA commig out in late 1996,  I am
confident that the Amiga will make a comeback. I mean with an enhanced
Workbench and the Power PC chip speed mixed with our brilliant operating
system,   the Amiga should be an unbeatable setup, and hopefully regain the
throne of computing.    I mean, the only thing we lack is variety and that
is exactly what going POWERPC will provide us all, speed and variety!

And, to the new magazine.....if you don't pick up your act,   my prediction
is that you will go to your grave and the AMIGA will rise from its!     
Now that will be a great site, since you are turning your back on the
AMIGA.   Have fun and see how well the other computers treat you.....see if
you last another 10+ years.  My suggestion to anyone subscribed,   if they
don't support the AMIGA, make the call and don't support them!
