[comp.sys.amiga] AmigaMail, what's the beef?

bryce@COGSCI.BERKELEY.EDU (Bryce Nesbitt) (05/02/87)

Some questions on the AmigaMail support newsletter:

1> Who gets it automagically?
2> Who needs to ask/beg/buy/barter/steal to get it and how do they do that?
3> What issues have been published?

As a 'certified' developer several issues came, one month missed then
nothing from August until December, 1986.  The last issue before December
said that "...Details [about the monterey developer's] confrence in the
next issue...".  The only details in the next issue [December] where about
how to purchase the NOTES from the confrence that happened back in November!

No issues have come since December, 1986... and to think that net-rumor has
it that I am missing out on a real-life picture of Carolyn Scheppner! 8-)

Originally the newsletter was sent only to developers who were registered 
with our West Chester Office; this included all of the issues through the
December issue.
The last issue (the one that everyone has been talking about - glossy with
pictures, real sharp) was sent to ...
1.  All of our registered developers.
2.  Everyone who was on any of our Amiga databases.  This includes anyone
    who ever ordered hardware/software/other from us.
Current policy:
	Future newsletters will be sent to Commercial and Certified 
	developers (no charge; it is included in their yearly fee)
	and anyone who subscribes.
	For a one-year subscription - send a check for $20 to:
	Commodore Business Machines
	1200 Wilson Drive
	West Chester, Pa  19380
	Attention: Lauren Brown

Lisa lists the Amiga Mail issues available.  She didn't mention
that volume 1, was apparently the Mar. '86 issue.  Vol. 1
apparently was only 1 issue, as the Mar. '86 issue says that it is
the "...first issue of our Developer News Letter."  April '86 was
labled Vol. 2.

Just thoght I'd pass that along, lest any readers thought they were
missing some stuff.  All other issues that Lisa mentions concur
with what I have here.   I'd like to take the time to say thanks.
Amiga Mail has greatly improved over the last year.  The pictures
and glossy were quite a pleasant surprise.
