As further considerations for enticing folks to get onto BIX, I
present the following messages posted by Bob Pariseau (one of the
Amiga folks):

TITLE: More technical info coming
Many of you have entered technical questions here which we have not
yet managed to answer.  We aren't ignoring you.  There are some
additional key people I intend to get up on this net as soon as
they return from vacation (seems there's this wedding going on in
Chicago).
 
In addition, we are considering uploading preprints of the new
Amiga ROM Kernel Manual to the net -- particularly the chapters
containing the bulk of the corrections from the current manual.
These chapters will be Copyright (C) 1985, Commodore-Amiga, Inc.,
All Rights Reserved, (isn't legal boilerplate fun?) but given the
Fair-Use doctrine of the current Copyright laws, I don't think that
will give any of you hackers out there any problems.
 
Meanwhile, there's a little matter of this release I have to get
out the door.  So bye for now....

We are working on making the Amiga dial-in support service public
even now.  Any suggestions for improving that service are appreciated.
In the interim, we are currently posting info to BIX and (just
started) Usenet.  Personally, I like the organization on BIX -- not
to mention the high quality of the content.  We will continue to
support BIX, even after it goes commercial, as long as it appears
that the charges imposed have not impaired the level of participation.
