Jason Compton wrote in comp.sys.amiga.misc: All this is, is an announcement that says that Red Hat will sell Amiga's SDK through their web store. I confirmed with Red Hat's Melissa London (who confirmed it with execs within the company) that this is in no way an announcement of any agreement, alliance, partnership, or joint development agreement. This is, in effect, a press release that says "Our CD is on sale at RedHat.com." Don't let anyone tell you different.

My Ass Commodore didn't do advertising and PR, they were constantly sticking billboards, TV commercials,
Business partnerships and the like, all over the world. As for it been a good thing, I'm still thinking along the lines of
"Erm wheres the amiga in all this shite?

Well, that all depends on what part of the world you are in and where those ads were placed. Here in North America, CBM did advertise the Amiga, but they did very little of it and most of the ads ran in Amiga or Commodore magazines. Very few tv or radio spots, and very few cool promotions. |
