It just has't panned out though. It's a game machine. A very good one, but so is nintendo. I unsubscribed to comp.sys.amiga, becasue unlike the net.micro.amiga of yore, c.s.a is all games (with the odd diskperf posting when somebody finds a news hard disk) c.s.a.tech should stay where it is, s.c.a should be moved to talk or something. Of course this all applies to the Mac as well. >I suppose that we could really go off the deep end and determine the >latin word for aquariums, aquarium, This is a good idea. Does anybody know the Latin word for aquarium ? -- Surgical tools for mutant women richard@gryphon.COM decwrl!gryphon!richard gryphon!richard@elroy.jpl.NASA.GOV
