[net.micro.cbm] Small comment on ST vs. Amiga battle

bobh@pedsgd.UUCP (Bob Halloran) (08/05/85)

Just a small flame: when the Atari ST was finally announced, the Amiga
faction was making jibes about the failure to get the TOS ROM software 
solid enough to ship.  Now the Amiga arrives with great fanfare, and a 
small diskette amusingly named 'Kickstart' containing... well... the 
AmigaDOS code that was supposed to be in ROM?  :-)  :-)

I'd rather have the DOS on disk anyway... just in case.
