Oh grow up George. Don't you have anything else better to do with your time? Like maybe improving some aspect of the Amiga? Neil is a busy man and obviously has more important things to worry about than arranging Usenet access for a couple of days. After all, I'm sure he could have dialed up just like you probably did. I guess everyone now knows where Commodore's priorities lie. Also, I gather that Neil was not the only one who didn't "stop by" the Commodore booth. After all, he was too busy talking to people to stop by. You and the other boys must have had plenty of time to read rec.humor (or is that comp.sys.amiga?). Why don't you stay in your own newsgroup and leave us alone unless you have something useful to say?

After all, I'm sure he could have dialed up Pretty strong words there -- sounds like a Bible thumping Atarist to me. I am agreeing with you, but I think you should have put a **FLAME ON** to warn us (or George) at the beginning. Is Purdue getting to you? Is it still as boring as I remember? Do you like corn? Is the Engineering mall building still there? Will Commodore last the year? Should Atari buy out the Amiga? Tune in tomorrow for the continuing saga...

Oh George, may the great protector ":-)" open up upon your postings and protect you from the rabble and these fine gentlemen :-). Seriously folks, the Amiga is a fine computer which is just getting its stride. All this hope for the atari is nice, but come on the amiga is a small business machine for the techno age. Small bands, tv commercial graphics, teleprompters, computers for the blind, desktop publishing, etc.. Please pardon my enthusiasm, it may be excessive. There are many possibilities here. -- Jim Hutchison UUCP: {dcdwest,ucbvax}!sdcsvax!hutch ARPA: Hutch@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu Never seems to be enough resolution, memory, or speed, now why is that?
