[The line-eater is reading the discussion on news.groups about deleting comp.sys.amiga.tech and creating c.s.a.programmer, c.s.a.hardware and c.s.a.arts; aren't YOU?] First of all, doesn't anyone else think it's a bit too late to discuss MAJOR design decisions such as bus specs? Don't you think that decision was made at least a year ago? I think the only discuss-able topics are in the magnitude of "should the mouse-cord length be increased" and "should they change the color of the case". The rest of this post is COMPLETELY sarcastic.

I just helped someone buy a 486 machine and I know that when I spend $xx,000 on a new computer my TOP TOP TOP priority is being able to re-used my 8-bit CGA card. Otherwise I'd have to sell it used for about $25. Blaaagh. (sarcasm done) Merry (insert holliday of your choice), Tom reply to tlimonce@drew.uucp or tlimonce@drew.bitnet; replying to the address in the header just plain doesn't work (yet!).

It is a LOT easier when you can buy JUST a motherbord NOW , and upgrade to faster add ons later. But hey , go ahead, I mean, I am sure YOU wont mind tossing all your old stuff every year or so? **************************************************************************** "Perfume and leather baby , you and me together baby, what good is living in paradise, if you don't let yourself once or twice." -Tiffany Kenneth J.
