The National Computer Graphics Association is holding a conference at the Anaheim Convention Center (Anaheim, CA) March 19-22, 1990. Glancing through the list of Exhibitors (as of October 31, 1989), I notice the Commodore is conspicuously absent. I hope this isn't going to be the case. I applaud Commodore's recent endeavors into reaching the educational market, but I think the Amiga deserves better representation in others areas as well. Unless I am mistaken, I do remember seeing Amigas at the NCGA '88 (in Anaheim) although Commodore was not official present. I do not mean this to be a flame, just a plea for a machine that hasn't received the attention it deserves. --Rich

I just got a new program for NCGA and noiced that there are numerous multi-media and destop media seminars. Yet, not a one of them contains a Commodore employee as a speaker nor is the Amiga mentioned in any of the descriptions. All of them list the applications on, of course, the IBM PC and Macintosh. There is even a special section of seminars devoted to the Graphics on the Macintosh. Things like this make you wonder just where Commodre stands technically. They may be focusing on their marketing presence but in the long run it is your representation in the techincal community that makes you superior. How many of the original Amiga developers are left ?
