Welcome to the World of Amigaphile
AMIGAphile Volume 1 Number 1 (JUNE 1992)
Welcome to the first edition of Amigaphile. In this edition, I will explain the who, what, where, when, why, and how of Amigaphile. I hope that everyone is as enthusiastic about this project as I am. I have found that it takes a great deal of time (and money) to put together a newsletter. I hope this effort was not wasted.
One of the most interesting of this months articles discusses the Amigaphile survey. I would have to applaud it as a roaring success. I received over 70% return rate. At the very start, I was inundated by the number of requests and returned surveys but by now, the request have dwindled to 1 a week. Again, I thank those who completed the survey. I'd also like to thank everyone who offered encouraging words and especially those who offered their assistance. You are the ones who will make Amigaphile a success.
Also included in this issue are many of the thoughts, ideas, and opinions returned with the surveys. Many of you I spoke with and asked for your permission to quote. Others, I hope will not be upset if I reprinted something without asking. Most Amiga owners have a very well defined idea of where they stand in relationship to their computing habits as well as in their relationship with Commodore Business Machines. Many people expressed concern about the future of Amiga computing. I hope we can answer these questions and address these concerns.
Finally, I have a short list of User's Groups and Bulletin Boards. I hope this list will help make many of you aware of your local Amiga support. You are not the only Amiga owner in existence. I hope this list will grow in time to include something in your local area.
