From: Eliot Lear <Lear@RED.RUTGERS.EDU> Hello All, It has been a while (March) and I know most of you would like to know what happened to Info-Amiga. Well, alot. Your moderator was sick throughout April. For various reasons it has taken me this long to catch up with both my schoolwork and my job. We are now faced with several problems as a group. The volume of news coming over from Usenet deems it impossible for me to give up the time required needed to maintain the list. If anyone wishes to maintain info-amiga in the fashion in which it was run, I will step aside. Otherwise, the list requires some form of reorganization. I propose that we break the link with Usenet and start our own message database. This will slow the mail down considerably. I realize that there is a lot of useful information in comp.sys.amiga but the signal to noise ratio is too low. I have been tossing the idea of restricting postings to new product announcements, reviews, and new ideas for the Amiga. If you are still interested in info-amiga, please indicate what you would like to see done with the list by mailing to info-amiga-request@red.rutgers.edu. Eliot -------

From: bullinger.HENR@Xerox.COM Eliot, I for one would like to continue to receive as much information as possible on the Amiga. Even with lots of 'noise', much information can still be filtered out from these messages. I'm not in a position to offer any assistance, but I hope my opinion helps in some way! Tom.

From: "Tom_Donaldson.EdServices"@Xerox.COM You suggest ignoring USENET, who/what does that leave? I would like to see as much info on as you care to pass along, but new-ideas/announcements/reviews would be better than nuthin! (of course, the work/time involved in reading the stuff is a bit lower than managing/culling it). Whatever you do is fine ... welcome back to life. td

From: Kenneth Seah <ISCSEAHK%NUSVM.BITNET@wiscvm.wisc.edu> A vote for new product reviews (hardware and software) and applications for the Amiga. The Amiga is coming in strong here in Singapore but price is still kinda high (S$3000+ or US$1500+). Would really like to get news. We're counting on you !
