451.0. "Amiga 500 in PC WEEK?" by BAGELS::BRANNON (Dave Brannon) Fri Apr 10 1987 20:29

    PC WEEK, April 7th issue is worth taking a look at.
    
    It has a number of articles on the new ibm pcs, in particular, color
    pictures of screens displaying the new graphics modes
    (320x200 with 256 colors out of a palette of 256,000
     640x480 with 16 colors out of a palette of 256,000)
    
    Very nice picture of a sailing ship overlaying text displays with
    multiple fonts.  No mention of IFF though :-)
    
    The catch, of course, is the price.  But it is nice to see that
    ibm finally has realized that there is a need for great color
    graphics.
    
    There is also an article on the Boston Computer Society, has a 
    picture of the president? of the club holding what looks like
    an Amiga 500 (can only see the back and bottom of it).
