More Amiga in the news ...
In the "BUSINESS MONDAY" section of the San Jose (CA) Mercury-News for Monday,
December 12, 1988, we find the feature story:
The VOICES of SILICON VALLEY
containing conference interviews with 3 industry pundits:
Tim Bajarin Stewart Alsop Michael Murphy
Position: Executive VP Publisher Senior Analyst
Company: Creative Strategies P.C.Letter California Technology
Research Int'l Stock Letter
Location: Santa Clara Redwood City San Francisco
Consituency: computer companies computer users investors
Favorite
Computer: Apple Macintosh Plus Apple Mac ][ but Macintosh SE
"Requires 8MB RAM"
In conference, we find the statements:
"In the year 2000, computers may not be what they are today. Bajarin believes
that computers will use graphics, sound, animation and music to rival an
entertainment center at home and a sales presentation at the office. Powerful
multi-media computers such as the Commodore Amiga and the NeXT Computer System
back up Bajarin's argument."
And:
"His [Alsop's] next likely tirade will be against Apple. ``Apple will head
south in a couple of years,'' Alsop says. ``They're getting arrogant and
forgetting about their customers.''
Sheesh! All this in the San Jose Mercury News, which (previously) was
notorious for its STRONG ANTI-Amiga and pro-Apple stance. Maybe there IS
justice after all! :-) :-)
