[comp.sys.amiga] Disheartened....

I must say, my kill file has been getting quite a bit of work lately.
Unfortunately, too much has been read before I killed it.  I'm getting
a little worrisome about the Amiga.

First off, I don't really care what the new Macs or OS/2s or Sparcs or
anything are doing.  What we should be trying to do is sit down and
think of how to improve the Amiga!  Otherwise we're all just playing
the catch-up game that somebody abhorred a few hundred messages back.

And my computer, the Amiga, is being pounded on left and right by
people who actually own it!  Commodore, are you listening to this?  If
your most loyal users are beginning to get antsy, something's got to
be done.  I'm sure you've at least learned that over the past years -
all of them, that is.

Something very wrong is going on here.  I won't buy a PS/2; I don't
like or trust IBM as a company.  I won't buy a Mac, they're way out of
my price range and the ones I can barely touch are far too slow.  And
neither of them multitasks, despite some slippery programs on the part
of both IBM and Apple.  So I'm an Amiga man to stay.  But many people
out there aren't like me.  They'll pack up and buy a Mac SE or a PS/2
Model 50, so they can have a 'real' computer.

I, for one, don't want to be an orphan.  So what am I to do?
