Johnny C. Kitchens wrote on comp.sys.amiga.misc: Didn't anyone notice that the Dallas Morning News did an article covering the Amiga, as well as the Atari. Amiga Inc. sure needed a press person on that one... :( Update 11:03 GMT: Direct link to the article, courtesy of Craig in the comments.

They want $2.00 to retrieve the article from the "archives"!
Maybe someone has the direct link???

Thanks!
Awww, not that bad...
Shows the "Old" computers still have some life in them,
and in a good light.
Does lump Amigas in with C64's Atari4/800's and Apple]['s though.
Nothing about the "new" Amigas.

I'm in the N. Dallas chapter of this group. Wasn't to crazy about being lumped
together with the Atari group, but they did print the meeting time for our two
AGM chapters (we might get some new members out of it, anyway).

I hope some good comes of it. I just wish that they had taken some time to see
some Amigas in action...

I don't think it was too bad... The article was about old computers - so why they should talk about some un-released systems? ...and old Amigas's are just that - old. :)

I didn't like it at all. I wrote to em and said that it was a lousy article. I mean... When some1 say my Amiga is a Dinosaur!? Man... Thats a reason to kick some1! And it gets worse...
/../Many people have never even heard of the Amiga, and Mr. Stodola says he hears it mispronounced – or sees it misspelled – frequently. /../
HELLO!? Did Mr. Stodola really say that? Amiga started the revolution. Every1 that was there from the start have heard about it!
Hope i didn't upset any1. Just didn't like the article...

With all due respect a lot of people have never heard of the Amiga. Look how far back we are talking about after all.
Someone born in 1980 who is now 20 could have easily and completely missed what was happening without being stupid. CBM's marketing was primitive even by garage band standards. The Amiga has been out of production in any real sense of the word for what? 7 years? We tend to forget that the real entry into modern homes of computers in large quantitities is recent, post 1990.
I wish I had a buck for every time someone said, "Omega? What's that?"

I can't even get to the rotten article.
It crashed my computer twice. (8000 0004)
I guess I'll read something else.

In reply to Comment 12 (NEO):
So -everyone- had a computer in Sweden prior to 1990? I don't think so. But I'm willing to hear a correction to my assumption.
Here in the US the current estimate I've heard for 'puters in American homes is only a bit over 50% and I suspect that number includes homes where the only computer is an occasionally used C-64.
But I never assume that just because I and the crowd I hang with know something that the entire world knows it.
Being unaware of a fact is not the same as being stupid.
