Course, even amiga people >will have to haul their computers over to friends houses. Well, shoot. Do we tell 'em now ? Aw hell, might as well. Well, the REAL reason there isn't s MIDI port on the Amiga, is because it would have interfered with PSI-net (tm), the telepathic network driver developed by Sunny Kirsten. So you see, Amiga people don't need to shuttle their machines around in the cold and snow just to play silly games.

You can hook up a Wyse terminal to it. > -Todd Burkey "Have a nice winter" -- "Well they say, that Santa Fe, is more, than 90 miles away" UUCP: {ihnp4!crash, hplabs!hp-sdd!crash}!gryphon!richard INET: richard@gryphon.CTS.COM
