I'll keep this short and sweet, since it could be construed as being
self-gratuitous....
The first time I saw an Amiga was 2 1/2 years ago, at a dealer's
demo. I saw the Boing demo, Robo City, etc., etc.. It would guru
occasionally, but I thought "Gee, this thing has so much potential."
I ruled out buying one, being a poor liberal arts major. The amount
of money seemed astronomical. Plus, I remained a skeptic, because I
knew that potential isn't everything. It takes marketing, software
support, a "percieved uniqueness" to set it apart from a myriad of
of other personal computers on the market.
Now, 2 1/2 years later, I have an Amiga 2000 in my house.
I want to thank everyone who has or is doing their bit to make the
amiga what it is. This includes the Los Gatos group, for the initial
vision and implementation of a dream, the Commodore people, for taking
a "dream machine" and making it a marketable reality, the freeware and
shareware people who have given us a source of truly neat and useful
stuff, the netpeople for being reasonable and helpful when I needed
it, and Leo, for reminding us that a computer would be just an expensive
box if not for human imagination and humor.
