I post this for a friend of mine, late of the net... He should be back at a real net address next semester. He is getting an Amiga development system. Commodore West Chester called to say it has been shipped, and will be here Monday or Tuesday, ~Sept. 30. A local consumer electronics store in Madison has a demo Amiga with the Electronic Arts Eagle/Dinner Table demo, but they have no desktop or CLI that runs - they can't even duplicate the demos. When my friend (John Foust) gets his system, he'll try to get a copy of the Eagle demo, trading the CE shop for an operating system, or at least a backup of the only disks they have. He also said he wants to do the software (Lisp, Graphicraft, etc.) reviews - he said the best way to do it would be to send the disks from place to place. His (and my) office address is: Sound Technologies 16 N. Carroll St., Suite 600 Madison, Wisc. 53703 (608) 256-3646

Well, I DID get the intro manual, and I got ABasiC, too; my system was shipped the 12th of September and arrived on the 23rd. For some reason I LIKE ABasiC--all its features, however obscure, seem to make up somehow for all the software I don't have. But I was just at the NE Computer Faire trying to get a copy of the Eagle Demo. The response I got was a sales pitch for the host computer store. When I explained that I already HAD an AMIGA, the salesman offered to trade the demo for a copy of Lattice C. Needless to say, this will NOT be the dealer I frequent. Anyway, does anyone know where I can get this absolutely INCREDIBLE demo disk?
