[comp.sys.amiga] JerryP's Santa Goes Shopping

Here's the latest one from InfoWorld:

"Flight simulator programs on the Mac and the PC are all very well,
but they're not a patch on the wonderful flying programs available 
on the Amiga. Meanwhile, if you have an Amiga 2000 you can run all
your boring old business PC programs as well.

In fact, next year's version of the Amiga, with a 386SX on the DOS 
side and a 68030 chip on the Amiga side, as well as new software 
that lets the DOS machine take advantage of the Amiga's graphics,
just might be a serious challenge to the Sun workstation for
about half the cost.  But this is a Christmas column, so we won't
go into that. [It looks like Dr. Rubin talks TOO much :-)]

One thing you can do if you have an Amiga computer, is get hold of 
Microillusion's Firepower game.  You get to drive a very realistic
tank and go around blowing up everything in sight. The single player
version is fine, but since the Amiga is a *multitasking* machine, 
there's a two player version as well. [...] There's great sound, too. 
Get your significant other to play it with you; you haven't lived
until you've blasted her off the map"

Well, I guess Andy's, JDow's and other's efforts are finally paying off.
