I agree that this would be a good idea. But I don't think it is very likely to occur... We've got the CBM engineers on here, not the marketroids. This thread started with somebody (else) asking for info on the A3000T. A similar thing happened with the A3000UX. In that case there was an article posted to comp.newprod, but it never made it to this site. I realize there are restrictions on commercial postings on US gov't nets, however the non use of c.s.a.announce is most regrettable. The most likely solution to the impasse would be for some well connected sort to pick up CBM announcements from bix, CI$ etc & get them to the .announce moderator.

Yes. Someone tell me who is in charge of press releases at CBM. I'll call this person and get on the mailing list. When I get a press release, I can type it in and post it to comp.sys.amiga.announce. Does anyone know whom I should call and can someone tell me his/her telephone number? > "This is not the world.
