(i'm sure apple would be happy to see someone start an "amiga is dead" rumor.) personally i think things are looking a lot in the II community. a rom 04 machine would be a very positive step. i'm looking forward to the new year.

Thank you for saying that. It needed to be said. Once ROM 04 comes out, I feel rather confident that it'll be a nice machine. Just look at the stats for it. Some software companies have dumped the GS because of its speed. Well, that problem will be solved once ROM 04 reaches us. I think ROM 04 will make a difference... > anthony c girardin > > (sorry but my sig was damaged by the flames - lucky i have > insurance.) -Greg T.

Please don't.
Brian Greenstone writes some really hot software for the IIgs and he would be
sorely missed by the community should he sell his IIgs and buy an Amiga.
