Just to keep with the positive attitutes :-), let's report some good facts about Commodore Marketing. Computer & Software News (Sept 12) reports that "Commodore signs Omni Micro, Priority 1, Fryes" as new dealership chains that will sell the Amiga and Commodore PC clones. Omni, a 15-outlet chain based in South Bend, Indiana; and Priority 1, a four-store chain, are the largest business-oriented resellers Commodore has won since Max Toy took over. The article reports that other 6 or 7 chains are having talks with Commodore. Commodore supposedly announced that the A2286 Bridgeboard will ship within 60 days, and that "the 68020 card will be availablle with either 2 or 4 Mbytes of RAM, and will simultaneously run UNIX, DOS *and* AmigaDOS". The board will also come with either a 68881 or 68882 math co- processor". Enjoy. -- Marco Papa 'Doc' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Their service stunk, they didn't have any software to speak of, all I ever heard was "we can't do any- thing except what headquarters tells us". I hope they have taken a radical turn for the better, though I may never know if they have, since I have found stores with decent software selections and support, I don't go to Priority 1. > >-- Marco Papa 'Doc' >-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= >uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu > "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] >-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -Phil Nelson -- {ames|pyramid}oliveb!tymix!antares!pnelson | Contains: Potentially hazardous OnTyme: QSATS.P/Nelson POTS: (408)922-7508 | questions, Potentially hazardous Disclaimer: Not officially representing | opinions, Potentially hazardous McDonnell Douglas Corporation policy. | comments, Virtual Carcinogens
