Apparently CBMs answer to the Falcon, the A1200 is now available in the UK. The most likely release date for the Falcon would seem to be February. Its not all bad news though, looking through comp.sys.amiga.hardware reveals that the A1200s are being shipped without half the manuals, without the promised adaptor to use VGA monitors, without any hardware clock (apparently all the official documentation claiming that there is one on the A1200 is is wrong.), the sound output level is so high that it distorts unless you put a resisitor across it and there are serious problems with the TV modulator. As one Amiga person put it: "Commodore has released a new machine one month before Christmas to try to sell as many as possible, but they were really NOT READY to launch it." - Leo.
