from Infoworld, November 7, 1988 edition
from the infertile mind of Robert X. Cringely:
"Amigas in Every Pot"
Bush looks like Raymond Massey in East of Eden. Dukakis looks like Raymond
Massey's accountant. Dukakis talks out of the side of his mouth. Bush has been
known to talk out of both sides of his mouth, and occasionally he talks with
his foot in his mouth.
On this "kindler, gentler" theme, a thousand points of light have been shining
recently from Commodore -- makers of the best-selling computer in Germany --
indicating that the 68020-based Amiga 2500 and the 68030-based Amiga 3000 will
be seen at Comdex.
I like the 3000, which has a 19.4-Mhz 68030, a 68882 floating-point chip and
an _80386_ (italics his) on the motherboard. The hermaphroditic machine comes
with five Amiga slots, five AT slots, 2 megs of RAM expandable to 16 and
compatibility with both Amiga and DOS software. The price is $5,200, with a
megapixel color display and an 80-meg SCSI drive.
I have nothing to do with Infoworld except as an occaisional reader. The
article has been listed here verbatiom.
