From TheEditor

he Future of

computingwithour

Commodores has

reached a new

chapter., or so it

would seem. With

the results ol the

auttioninj!offofCommodore'sassetsfinallyin,there's

a new company at the helm. Where will iliis new

company lead us?

Undoubtedly, there arc few ofthoseamongus who

wouldn't liketoknowtheanswertothatquestion.Bui

certainly, it's far too soon lo tell, far loo early for

eventhenewownerstohaveaclear

picture ofwhere they're going or

hawthey'll eventuallyget there.

limifanytbingat;iliisapparent,

it is lliis: gone are ihe days of

struggling with Commodore

over support lor C-fi4 and

128. ifthe new owners

are as difficult to deal

with as past Commodore

management has been, so he

il—we're noworseoff. If, on the

other hand, the new owners arc as

open to new ideas and licensingof

technology as they have thus far

indicated, wecouldverywellbeon

our way lo a renewed vitality for our long-time

computerized companions.

I'll skip the details ol who the new ownersare. and

how the? came lo own Commodore's rights; Jason

Conipton, Editor ofAmiga Report has provided us

with all that information in his special reporl located

elsewherein thisissue, facts?Therearen't manytogo

on yet. Bui there's plenty ol room lor rampant

speculation, and I'vegot plentyofthat togoaround.

The culls have come in regularly from users

everywhere.Everyonewantstoknowwhatwillhappen.

Will ihere be new fj-l's? 128's? Will the new owners

produce the C-65 that Commodore came so close to

completingbeforescrappingtheplanaltogether?Will

there be parts, or new supplies oi peripherals? The

questions seem unending.

Wedoknowthat the C-64 will heproduced, and in

fact,somereports leadusto believethat it isalreadyin

production. Wenowknow thai il will he marketed in

al least somecornerofthe world. It'sdoubtful thai the

newownerswillthemselvesattemptanymarketingof

theC-Mor the 128 in Norlh America. The samegoes

for the many peripherals common to our 8-bit

machines. But with llie computer back in known

production, we shouldn't have lo worry as much

about parts being hard lo come

by, and ifanyone on this side of

the globe hasenough interest in

marketingormanufacturingany

ol the 8-bit products, ihe way

seems clear for thai

possibility.

We've all gone

through a longwait to

see exactly what would

become of Commodore's

assets; and now that this part is

over, we'll nodoubt have to wait

a bit more lo see what can and

will be done to continue or lo

furtherthe futureofourfavorite

computing platform,

Butwhilewewail Ebrthoseanswerstoarrive,wecan

thrive onthe fnet thai it's now morea matterof"will it

be done?" than a mailerol "can il hedone'/"

WE COULD

VERY WELL

BE ON OUR

WAY TO A

RENEWED

VITALITY FOR

OUR

LONG-TIME

COMPUTERIZED

COMPANIONS."
