Hi CAMs,
First I will say that I be
happy to have read the 1st Issue of the CAM. So here we are
continuing the "Spirit of Amiga". I hope there will be more
than one Issue. :-)
Reading it was a pleasure for me.
The Words and Images are balsam for a wounded Soul. And be one
of the firsts who saw the Campaign Picture is become someone
special.
So that's my first impressions, so keep on
buddies. Talk about Amiga, show your machines on local
computer meetings or Hard- & Software Markets (Places were
you can buy computer stuff for cheap Prices). After AOS4 and
the AmigaOne appears our World will hopefully be brighter,
because the clouds of sadness disappeared.
Best

Hi,
I would like to give some
feedback about the purposed marketing strategy. Being an Amiga
user since 1989, I had the opportunity to live the glory of
Amiga and also see its decay. Unfortunately, marketing, I
believe, was one of problems that made Amiga loss its
position. It would be important to learn from the past in
order to no repeat the same mistakes. The focus of the
marketing campaign should be creating demand for the product.
The Amiga has the advantage of having at least a loyal
community, where normal unknown products usually have no
support at all. Of course thinking in supply the product just
to a narrow community shouldn't be the target of Amiga Inc.
But Amiga Inc. could increase Amiga's existence in the market
through this community.
I think an important issue
should be considered to bring back those people who in the
past had contributed to the Amiga and had left a mark. I'm
talking not only people dedicated to program software, but
those who created Amiga icons and music as well. This is no an
easy task and could be risky, but it is important to remember
that no risk no win.
Probably the idea of being a
computer user out of the common, where the user has the
control of what its doing, and not just a 'lemming' following
order from the screen about what to do. The Amiga thought me
how computer works and probably that is the main reason I have
experienced frustrating attempts to shift to a different
platforms.
I believe there is an opportunity for Amiga
to fit in, but is going to be hard. I wish you guys the best
of luck.
Thanks for the opportunity to give this
feedback.
Sincerely, Amiguero

Rumor Doomer (R.D.)
In the April issue of Club Amiga Magazine, we will
begin to squash rumors and "fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD).
If you have a rumor or a piece of FUD that you would like us
to address, e-mail us at mailto:cam@amiga.com?subject=Rumor
Doomer with the subject "Rumor Doomer."
Here's a preview to start things off:
R. |
I've heard that the "Roadshow" TCP/IP stack for
AmigaOS4 will only be an evaluation version and that
users will have to pay to get a full version stack. Is
this true?? |
D. |
No, a full version of Roadshow will be included with
AmigaOS4 Separate stand-alone 68K version may be sold
later on (Olaf Barthel asked for this option) but that's
where it ends. |
That's all for this time. See you all in the next
issue of Club Amiga Monthly! |
