the Amiga community. Added to these concerns is the silence enforced on VIScorp executives until the sale is finalized. With VIScorp unable to discuss their plans (or even formulate them with other companies), many Amiga users are losing faith that anything will be done. Meanwhile, competition from the PC market is not only encroaching on the Amiga's business, but it is rapidly annihilating the Macintosh's position as well. If Apple cannot keep MSDOS at bay, many question how the Amiga can. Oh, wait! You thought I was going to say there is a window of hope. There must be an opportunity we have not yet realized or an option we have yet to explore. There are always hopes and there are always options. I am a constant optimist. However, we in the Amiga community would be less than honest with ourselves if we did not face these realities. Still, there are opportunities, Due to its versatile nature, the Amiga comes equipped with built-in options. The Amiga is a highly adaptable platform and it is high time we took advantage of that fact. Beat'em? Join'em! In this issue's Feedback on page 6, Robert Benjamin of Wysox, PA, suggests that the Amiga should be produced and distributed as an MSDOS compatible system. The Amiga has always had this opportunity (Commodore was one of the companies licensed to produce PCcompatible chips) but no one has ever offered an Amiga/MSDOS machine without the use of emulator software or cards. For some time, I have believed the best way to introduce the world to Amiga technology is to use Amigas to augment other computer networks. Place Amigas in offices with MSDOS and Macintosh machines. The Amiga could be used to do the tasks it does best, while the MSDOS and Mac machines could continue to perform the functions they were originally purchased to do.
