Anyway, the point of this Editorial is not to give way to a bout of self-indulgence but to reminisce over the changes l've seen in just three years with Amiga Computing (and three years is a relatively short time in the lifespan of Amiga). I started back in October 1993, complété with shiny shoes and spoddy suit The first magazine! Worked on was the lanuary 1994 issue and in the news it was announced that despite Commodore substantially stashing its operating costs, it still continued to lose money. Several Européen offices were closed and a financial statement said that the firm's financial position and operating resuits raised concerns about its ability to continue as a going concern.

In May J996 Mr Vost left us and I took over at the helm of the good ship Amiga Computing. It was also another exciting period in the Amîga's turbulent history. American company, VIScorp, had stated that it wanted to buy the Amiga and a Letter of Understanding had been signed with Escom - unfortunately, Escom went bust before the deal was ever
