The Amiga 4000 and more! The Amiga 4000 is here. This combined with the Amiga 600 featured in last month's issue, provides an entirely new focus in Amiga computing. The A4000 brings with it a superior graphics chip set with advanced graphics capabilities and higher resolutions. While some may cringe at the thought of their current Amiga becoming obsolete, most of us realize that the machine must continue to grow and support betterstandardsin order to survive. The introduction of the AA chip set offers more than a little reassurance that the Amiga has a future. This issue of AC is alive with that future. From the introduction of the A4000 to the report on the World of Commodore Amiga in Pasadena, we can see the future developing. The WOCA was an interesting experience. for three days, thousands of people came, saw, and enjoyed being part of the Amiga. Seminar rooms were filled to capacity. Extra seminar sessions were scheduled only to have those become filled with more Amiga users wanting to get in. Commodore was inspired. Lou Eggebrecht, Vice President of Engineering for Commodore, he Id ad ouble session where he told capacity audiences what was in the future for the Amiga. These sessions were so filled, we had to ask Joanne Dow to fill us in on the details. (The Lou Eggebrecht session in the WOCA show report on pi.lge 92 was supplied by Joanne in ii quick session on the show floor. TI1is was necessary because she got in and we could not. We thunk Joanne for her help and believe me, if there are any errors, the errors are ours not hers.) Mr. Eggebrccht's insights demonstrate not only Commodore's efforts today, but a good deal of their thinking for the future. They have projected a path for the Amiga, set goals for its accomplishment, and have started on their way.
