Short: Amiga users angry at CBM UPLOADER: dtiberio@xamiga.linet.org This is a small collection of files from people who are angry with Commodore for numerous reasons. Included is an update to the first version which includes a letter I intend to mail to CBM this week. CBM has shown a loss of market share over the years in key markets such as the United States. Numerous game companies, such as MAXIS, MicroProse, and Electronic Arts have pulled out of the Amiga market due to a lack of game sales in the US. Well, this needs to be changed, and I am starting a grassroots effort that will hopefully influence the market by doing the following: - convince CBM to get its act together in the US, and of course in other countries where support is sparse - convince software developers to come back to the Amiga - convince magazines to increase coverage of the Amiga and stop ignoring it If you are interested in contributing to this effort, please send me email at dtiberio@libserv1.ic.sunysb.edu. What I need is a list of software developers that have pulled out of the market, a list of magazines that have ignored the Amiga (plus specifac articles and issues), and last of all any comments regarding CBM's lack of support. I hear stories that it is hard to purchase some of the high end Amiga 3000's and 4000's in Europe, let alone get a 2.04 or 2.1 upgrade set. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 549 248 54.8% 18-Oct-92 02:38:42 AGA_readme 790 463 41.3% 29-Jul-92 02:40:58 Amiga_Clone_Project 2179 1050 51.8% 29-Jul-92 02:34:42 Angry_Stockholder 24578 9918 59.6% 05-Feb-93 17:11:12 cbm_gould 7858 3346 57.4% 29-Jul-92 02:33:12 cbm_reply 3149 1626 48.3% 29-Jul-92 02:32:34 Jason_Remillard 3929 2016 48.6% 29-Jul-92 02:39:48 John_Dudley 5234 2601 50.3% 29-Jul-92 02:59:40 Lance_Tagliapietra 8849 4087 53.8% 29-Jul-92 02:42:08 Phillip_Robinson 51060 19238 62.3% 29-Jul-92 03:17:26 save_cbm.doc 1849 862 53.3% 29-Jul-92 03:06:54 Videography_magazine 2912 1353 53.5% 05-Feb-93 17:30:58 William_Sydnes -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 112936 46808 58.5% 06-Feb-93 09:20:04 12 files
