Amiga September Executive Update

[DaveP]

It does sound like they are starting to get on a roll with "DE"
but we have heard stuff before that puts it in a more positive
light than it should have.

Still, time to dig out DE again I think.

[DaveP]

Yeah the touching eulogies can be shoved where the sundoesnt shine.

Im put off by the kind of oprah winfreysque evangelistic verbage
from Collas and now McEwan.

Sure I understand it but when pitching you have
to understand your audience.

I wasnt nailing him to a cross, just criticising thataspect ofhis
marketing speak.

LOL I think I know the joke.

Can anyone think of any corporate personality in the
Amiga market who doesnt need lessons in PR?

Ermmmmmmmmm

I cant.

I compiled a list of my 10 worst at PR:

1. Thendic - shoots self in foot so frequently amazed still capable of walking.
2. Amiga Inc - over effusive, promises the earth and delivers a pebble
3. BoXeR project - promised a pebble and didnt deliver that
4. IWIN  - you lose
5. AntiGravity - wow take some uppers dude!
6. Elbox - at least the products exceed the pr !
7. Haage & Partner - sheesh!
8. RS - party off dude
9. DCE - erm so is it or isnt it discontinued?
10. Power Computing - open mouth, insert foot, bite until teeth meet bone.

I think that disqualifies him. ;-)

Seriously though it is claimed that he misled Amiga users
last year over A1-1200 readiness.

But I agree when he does communicate I am always impressed
by his straight talk.
