(David Letterman-style #define MODE DREAM_TIME screen fade into:) Pan down to Bill Gates in front of an Amiga 500. In his absolute best Joe Isuzu voice/style/dress: "Hi! I'm Bill Isuzu for the new Amiga 500. Did you know that it is possible to multitask with less than 4 meg?" (Zoom into screen running CygnusED while compiling with Manx's Aztec C while playing Amoeba Invaders.) (Back to Bill; he knocks on the case of the A500.) "We just had to use smaller bytes." (Caption on the bottom of the screen: "For a man that used to write in 8080 machine code we can't figure out where his brain has been recently.") -Tom P.S.
