An Amiga Market In North America? In the last issue of AC, we ran an article on Escorn's plans and announcements for the Amiga. The cover carried their released picture for the new design of the A4000 Tower. This was based on a large presentation given by Escom to members of the Amiga press from all over Europe as well as the one US publication, AC. Just days before this issue went to press, we received news that many of the things originally discussed by Escom had changed. Being Fair On Friday, July 21, Amiga Technologies held a meeting in Philadelphia with a few Amiga dealers and distributors. Petro Tyschtschenko, General Manager for Amiga Technologies GmbH, led the meeting with Ed Goff, A T's Corporate Lawyer, and Jeff Frank, A T's Engineering Director. Also attending were CEI president Alex Amor, Better Concepts executive Craig Rosenfeld, Shawn Monroe of Dark Unicom products, as well as executives from Lively Computer, Software Hut, Micropace, Metropolitan Computers, and Centaur Development. Through a conversation with Craig Rosenfeld plus an eight page fax from Shawn Monroe, I discovered that there is a difference of opinion between what the Amiga Technologies executives believe and the beliefs of the North American Amiga vendors. According to the Amiga vendors, Escom has no plans lo market the Amiga in North America in the immediate future.
