In the April 1991 issue of AV Video, Phil Kurz, Editor queries ...
"Dear ... Amiga Users: ... I would like to ask ... Amiga users who
read this magazine two simple questions. Why do many of your
brethren fall in love with their computers? Why do they set out to
convert the world to their preferences with a nearly religious
fervor?
For the record, I am one of those heathens who uses an IBM clone
to do my work....
Contrast that attitude with some ... Amiga users who believe they
have found the Holy Grail. It's hard to understand ....
[lots more stuff]
Thus I return to my original questions. Why do some Amiga and
Macintosh users fall in love with their computers? Why do they
seem bent on converting the world?
I hope you write soon to let me know. I'd hate to take the life
of an Amiga artist without at least being able to explain to him
why his transgression was a capital offense.
Phil Kurz, Editor"
Well, explaining the Amiga to someone who's never used one is like
explaining word processing to someone who's only used a typewriter. They
just don't know what they're missing.
So, I wrote to Mr. Kurz. You may wish to do the same. But no
emotional appeals. He obviously doesn't want to hear those. He's the
editor of a 'video' magazine. If he doesn't value the Amiga in this
field (the Amiga column is always at the back of the magazine), then
give him some good reasoned arguments to give the matter a second thought.

PS. For the record, Mr. Kurz considers the theme of the magazine to be
communications, not just video, so keep that in mind. (After all,
being a multitalented machine makes the Amiga particularly good
at communicating ...)
