I saw some more press coverage of the Amiga today. The cover headline of
the May 31, 1988 Weekly World News said "COMPUTER TALKS WITH DEAD". I
flipped inside to the story and it had a picture of the Amiga 1000!
According to this reputable source :-) :-), scientists at a Soviet Union
University have trained various terminally ill people a special
communication method which would allow them to communicate with the
computer after they die. More than thirty have died and not left any
messages, but finally "Comrade K" started communicating through the computer.
Only the Amiga makes it possible :-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-):-)

(Their closest competitor is the Atari and they are outselling it 3:2) It's probably not too suprising that a few of those find their way across the wall. The problem is that this makes the most powerful computers in the country micros. (Just kidding, their 370 clone is getting better and better). --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.

This really takes on new meaning with *nix. Especially considering
"Zombie Processes" and "dead children" :-)
