Hurry up and get something with flashy demos on the showroom floor to impress the first time computer buyers when they walk in. It seemed to work, too. The Amiga lost a lot of steam after that. Of course, now that that's taken care of Apple can get back to the Macintosh business and to hell with the GS. You gotta admit, it explains a lot. ******************************************************************** * * * bob church bchurch@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu * * * * If economics isn't an "exact" science why do computers crash * * so much more often than the stock market? * * bc * ********************************************************************

No comment on that last bit... :) Apple ought to take a GOOD LONG LOOK at the A3000... They might learn something about how to make better Macs. 90% could be applied to the IIGS, as well... read my //f paper. (Email me). Todd Whitesel toddpw @ tybalt.caltech.edu
