Frustrating (Page 18):

Dear CVG,

I'm so confused! I've given it some thought in buy- ing a 3D0 as I have been with Amiga for five years (sad, eh). I'm also buying the M2 when it's j

released. But this is where I'm confused: I've h< Matsushita are buying the M2 technology, and Panasonic aren't getting the 64-bit dream. Then 1 heard that Matsushita is the owner of Panasonic, sol Panasonic are getting M2. Could you tell me which is right because I don't know where to get a Matsushita 3D0. David Kerrick, Leeds

CVG: Matsushita Electrical Industry (MB) is Panasonic's parent company Basically MEI is ENOR- MOUS, and many famous names associated with Consumer Electronics are divisions of that organisa- 1 tion. Seriously, MEI is involved with everything from \ JVC video recorders to National AA batteries! I
