As long as the posting is about nuclear war anyway,
I just want it to be CLEARELY understood that the
Amiga can do the job in 1/4th the memory, with
better graphics, with optional pull down target
menus, and True Multitasking, so you can be editing
your last will and testament while launching the
news flock of MIRVs, AND listening to Flight of the
Valkeries on the amazing four channel sound system,
ALL AT THE SAME TIME.  It's just a simple matter of
programming.

Naturally, the Amiga being a fully equipped
computer, the MIRVs come _with_ the package.

YES, it's TRUE; don't face the last trump without
your trusty Amiga!

Maybe we ought to have one of those performance
comparisions like they do at all the big computer
conferences? I believe they call them "shoot outs"?
