Hi,

 Some interesting news for those of you who were wondering:

	1) Release 1 of the OS and the developers package was
		shipped on Friday and Saturday via UPS.

	2) There are currently 544 developers in addition to the
		people contracting directly to Commodore (like
		Island Graphics, Arktronics, Simile Reseacrh etc.),
		with more requests coming in every day.

	3) Look for this Thursday's Wall Street Journal ad from
		Commodore about products/dealers.

	4) Electronic Arts will be releasing the following games on
		Nov 1:
			Archon
			One on One
			Seven Cities of Gold
			Skyfox

	5) The PC emulator is not ready for release and probably
		won't be till November. It currently runs MSDOS 2.11
		and a subset of Lotus 123. That's right - the
		Lincoln Center demo was fudged. They will not
		release it to the public until it works with a list
		of top-20 programs which includes:
			Dbase
			Crosstalk
			Flight Simulator
			Lotus 123
			Wordstar
			etc.

Hope these little tidbits were interesting... If anyone in the New
Jersey area is looking for an Amiga: CMI Systems on Rt. 9 in
Englishtown has 5 on the way and no one is signed up for them yet!

Have Fun,
