So it is August and within the last month the 68000 market has really heated up! Commodore unveiled the highly touted (and highly priced) Amiga on July 23rd in Lincoln Center, but probably will not begin shipping until September. Atari shipped a couple of thousand 520 ST’s to distributers last week and promised to ship 30,000 by the end of August. American Express began shipping QL“s July 22nd. So by the time you read this, the computers should be making their way to your houses and offices.
With so much action in the 68000 market, a lot of our customers are asking, “Why doesn’t Sinclair advertise more or get more articles in magazines?” The demand for the QL, according to informed sources, has been overwhelming. When quantities are sufficient to fill orders immediately, then you will see advertising. The best possible advertising for now is for you to tell 5 friends how great the QL is, not to hear from a computer salesman (present company excepted) that it is a “stupendous” machine.
