                     AmigaWorld--The Leading Amiga Publication-- 
                   Reinforces Position of Strong Support in Market 

Peterborough, NH (May 3, 1994)  AmigaWorld, the independent, monthly consumer 
publication for users of Amiga personal computers, has announced today that 
recent events at Commodore Business Machines in no way affect AmigaWorld's 
commitment to the market. 

Responding to news on Friday, April 29, that Commodore was going out of 
business, AmigaWorld Editor-in-Chief Daniel Sullivan stated, "Regardless of 
any change in the status of Commodore's operations, AmigaWorld will continue 
to provide coverage of the Amiga market for its readership.  We believe there 
are sound reasons to remain in the Amiga market -- namely, an installed base 
of five million Amiga computers worldwide; a dedicated AmigaWorld readership 
of loyal, enthusiastic users; and an innovative, proactive group of 
third-party developers." 

Sullivan added, "We also feel certain that the technology will survive the 
liquidation of Commodore through licensing agreements with interested third 
parties -- of which there appear to be many. This is an excellent opportunity 
for the Amiga community to take charge of its own destiny and set a direction 
for further development that Commodore has not been able to provide." 

The AmigaWorld staff views this situation as an opportunity to provide an 
even greater level of service to its readers and advertisers. With 
Commodore's departure from the market, customer service will become an even 
greater priority at AmigaWorld.  The staff will continue to support everyone 
involved in the market through such means as phone support and on-line 
feedback. By providing strong customer service and up-to-date market coverage 
for readers, AmigaWorld hopes to be the catalyst for future growth and 
development in the Amiga community.

International Data Group company. IDG is the world's foremost publisher of
