CU Amiga July 1997 issue contents

News & Features cover

News report
Gateway 2000 spell out their Amiga plans, full Amiga show report, plus Stateside and the regular news round-up too!
Total Internet Solution
The Internet explained for those who are confused by the whole thing. Tied in with the CU exlusive NetConnect Lite package on the CD-ROM, dedicated to the UK's only Amiga dedicated ISP, Wirenet. The software is by far and away the easiest Amiga software to get running that has ever been covermounted so expect a flood of new Amiga users on the Net!
What Went Wrong?
Why did the world's most revolutionary, forward thinking computer end up taking a back seat to far lesser technology like the PC and Mac, and can history teach us how to get the Amiga back up there? We dissect the Amiga's rollercoaster life in an effort to find out just what went wrong.
Eric Schwartz
His animations and artwork are admired the world over. He's been the inspiration for thousands of Amiga artists and by rights, many say he should be head of Disney by now. After all these years he's still a staunch Amiga supporter, so we thought it was time for a chat...
