I post this for a friend of mine, late of the net...  He should be
back at a real net address next semester.

He is getting an Amiga development system.  Commodore West Chester
called to say it has been shipped, and will be here Monday or Tuesday,
~Sept. 30.

A local consumer electronics store in Madison has a demo Amiga with
the Electronic Arts Eagle/Dinner Table demo, but they have no desktop
or CLI that runs - they can't even duplicate the demos.

When my friend (John Foust) gets his system, he'll try to get a copy
of the Eagle demo, trading the CE shop for an operating system, or at
least a backup of the only disks they have.

He also said he wants to do the software (Lisp, Graphicraft, etc.)
reviews - he said the best way to do it would be to send the disks
from place to place.

His (and my) office address is:

Sound Technologies
16 N. Carroll St., Suite 600
Madison, Wisc. 53703
(608) 256-3646

Well, I DID get the intro manual, and I got ABasiC, too; my system was shipped
the 12th of September and arrived on the 23rd.

For some reason I LIKE ABasiC--all its features, however obscure, seem to make 
up somehow for all the software I don't have.

But I was just at the NE Computer Faire trying to get a copy of the Eagle Demo.
The response I got was a sales pitch for the host computer store.  When I 
explained that I already HAD an AMIGA, the salesman offered to trade the demo 
for a copy of Lattice C.

Needless to say, this will NOT be the dealer I frequent.  Anyway, does anyone
know where I can get this absolutely INCREDIBLE demo disk?
