In that evil Satan/Alice Cooper movie they used Amiga 1000's to figure out that the demons were about to strike. In "Betrayed" they were used by an underground KKK/Bigot circle for graphical/speech telecommunications between members so they could better off their congressmen. And now I take it to mean that the girl he's "AFTER" means something negative, or am I wrong? This is probably why the Amigas aren't respected like they should be. >Sean >//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// > UUCP: ...!crash!pnet01!pro-party!seanc | > ARPA: !crash!pnet01!pro-party!seanc@nosc.mil | " Fanatics have their > INET: seanc@pro-party.cts.com | dreams, wherewith they > | weave a paradise for > RealWorld: Sean Cunningham | a sect.

THE ONLY COMPUTER POWERFUL ENOUGH TO BE USED BY ORGANIZED CRIME.
