THE AMIGA
*****************
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE AMIGA
The very fact that you are reading this proves that the AMIGA plays a part
in your life , so being an AMIGAN you must have noticed that of late the
software has become scarce to say the least , there are some dedicated to
our brilliant computer but not many . I can remember when each month the
magazines were packed with new software , when PC owners used to rave about
games and we could reply with the likes of "Monkey Island ? I completed
that months ago." that's because most software came out on the AMIGA first ,
sadly those days are gone , we may not be able to change things around to
the way they were but we can have a good try and you can be a part of it ,
"Me ? " you may ask "how can I change things ?" you can and it is simple .
Lets look at the facts , the AMIGA scene is still strong , there are new
hardware products appearing all the time , someone must be buying them , so
if the hardware manufacturers recognise that we are still out there then
why can't the software houses ? I'll tell you why , it's because we are not
making enough noise , write to them , let them know that if they produce
the software there are people who will buy it , tell them that 28,325
people read AMIGA FORMAT every month ( see page 102 FEB 98 issue , better
still cut the page out and send it to them ) it may cost for a couple of
stamps but the alternative is too horrible to contemplate , £1500 for a
lesser machine than the one you have already and the user unfriendly
WINDOZE , and don't listen to those lying TOASTER salesmen who tell you
"the AMIGA is dead and was only a games machine anyway , what you want is
one of these " pointing to a PC , I had to leave the shop before I did
something HE might regret . I say "OI , GATES , NO !!!!!!!!!"
Thanks' for taking the time to read my rantings .
LONG LIVE THE AMIGA
