1989
ST Amiga Format is an
independent publication and has
no links whatsoever with Atari or
Commodore.
What a shame — with so many fact-filled letters
we just didn't have room for all your ChristmaS
cards as well. Never mind, perhaps next year.

SEQUENCE
So, Farewell then, 1988. Still, a year that saw
Format launched can't be all bad, eh?
4 111 FORMAT
NICHE WORK
So it's 1989. A t the end of every
year since t h e machines w e r e
launched. it has become traditional
for ST and Amiga magazines to run
editorials saying how next year will
see the final final breakthrough. So
what does Format see in the twelve
months ahead?
On the entertainment side, even
though very few of the major chain
stores are still selling 8-bitters, the
price o f t h e S T and Amiga still
makes them machines you upgrade
to rather than go for as a first•time
buy. We predict that by Christmas
'89 volume sales will allow t h e
520ST t o sell a t £ 1 9 9 a n d t h e
Amiga A500 £299, or even £249.
In business, what has happened
in the computer market in the last
two years i s t h e growth o f a
application-oriented culture. Rather
than saying, - I need a computer",
people are saying, " I need t o do
some desktop publishing". The ST
and Amiga will dominate what are
becoming known a s t h e 'niche
markets'. Consider the facts: t h e
STs mono monitor offers higher
resolution that an Apple Macintosh;
the Amiga's video chips offer better
quality t h a n almost a n y o t h e r
graphics hardware under £10000.
And that's where the future lies -
quite simply. no other computer on
the market offers t h e value f o r
money in desktop publishing, MIDI
music making, video editing a n d
similar specialist areas than the ST
and Amiga do. You've only got to
look at the number of DTP packages
lined up for the ST (Page Stream
and Calamus t o n a m e b u t t w o
powerful contenders) and the range
of video packages for the Amiga
(like Sculpt 40 and ASP's sub-L100
Genlock) to see that the future is
brighter than ever.
Were looking forward to 1989 -
and don't forget, whatever your
computing interests are, ST Amiga
Format will b e there with the first
news and the first reviews_ Happy
new year!
