I just would like to share the story of a Commodore victory in little ol Fresno State, here in California. We have the typical bookstore mentioned hundreds of times here on the net complete with Mac yuppies and IBM drones. The bookstore pushed both machines, and that was what was on the campus. Apple came several times a semester to show off new equipement and demonstrate new gadgets and have drawings to win things like t-shirts, bicycles, and water bottles. IBM even showed up a few times to push the PS/2 line and had a drawing for a free one. The only time in 3 years that commodore ever showed was for a graphix show, and they really did a great job. They came off looking pretty well compared to the mac demo which was targeted at desktop publishing. BUT, things are rapidly changing. I am sitting here in a brand new graphics lab the university is putting in. The lab is still in the process of growing, but they already have 6 2500/030's with genlocks in here and are promising a few a3000's and even a couple unix machines, numerous digitizers and color printers and the whole 9 yards. Students are coming in and checking out what Amiga has to offer, and are really enjoying what they see. So what? you say. The nearest authorized distributer is how many miles away? Right now, 4. In about 2 or so weeks our bookstore which has told me for 2 yeas now that they would never carry commodore products are adding Amiga's to their product line. The whole dang art department is going crazy over these things, and even the Sun enthusiasts are giving them high marks. Look out Mac. Watch your back IBM. Amiga is here!!! -Kelly Dodge
