The Ranger was a product of the imagination of some guy at InfoWorld, about five years ago. About a year before the A2000 came out, InfoWorld carried a short blurb about a new Commodore 'Amiga Ranger' system with a resolution of 1024x768 and a vastly improved palette. It was strictly the imagination of the InfoWorld editor, and did not (and still does not) exist. (I don't know why anyone believed that, because there is no way Commodore could ever possibly be so innovative). ------------------------------------------------------------- / Marc Barrett -MB- | BITNET: XGR39@ISUVAX.BITNET / / ISU COM S Student | Internet: XGR39@CCVAX.IASTATE.EDU / ------------------------------------------------------------ \ The great thing about standards is that / \ there are so many of them to choose from. / -------------------------------------------------------
