Here's a interesting little tidbit I found in PC Week Sept 12, pg 44: ------------------------------------------------ Another Hombre has a somewhat slanted list of things to do while waiting for Presentation Manger applications: 1. Buy an Amiga. Every significant new feature in OS/2 was done first on the Amiga: multitasking, interprocess communications, color graphics interface as well as large amounts of directly addressable memory. 2. Buy an Amiga. When IBM first released the PS/2 machines, it copied several features from Commodore's Amiga: analog RGB video, a bus that supports multiprocessing, a built-in color display adapter, built-in serial, parallel and mouse ports, 3-1/2 inch floppy disks and high- resolution color graphics. 3. Buy an Amiga. It's more IBM-compatible (using a Bridge Board) with the classic PC, XT and AT machines than the PS/2. 4. Buy an Amiga. Its slick graphics and easy-to-use operating system are tight and solid, unlike OS/2, which requires as much as 4M bytes just to run. 5. Buy and Amiga. The best-ever microcomputer implementation of Unix is coming for the Amiga this fall. All that's just the half of it, amigos, he says. ---------------------------------- Keith Doyle # {ucbvax,decvax}!trwrb!cadovax!keithd Contel Business Systems 213-323-8170

I was SURE that I had the scoop, because no self-respecting Amiga owner would read Pee Sea Leak. :-) Lest you think that I have no self respect, it was my devoted wife who pointed out this item to me. Now what I want to know is, which one of you wrote this? Come on, fess up. ______________________________________________________________________________ /_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/ |_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____| _No dark sarcasm in the classroom|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|___ |____Teachers leave the kids alone__|_____|_____|_____|_bryan@cs.utexas.edu___| ___|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|{ihnp4,seismo,...}!cs.utexas.edu!bryan_ |_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|
