This is what you get when you use the system? This kind of experience will turn off novice Amiga users.

The fact that Omega150 is supposed to work so well with the system will be a major plus in my consideration when the author does the Raid thing. >******************************************************** >* Appendix A of the Amiga Hardware Manual tells you * >* everything you need to know to take full advantage * >* of the power of the Amiga.

Being able to be lobotomized into a Genesis comes in at a distant second. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan David Abbey \"Take your place on the great Mandela" P,P&M the university of texas at austin \ jonabbey@cs.utexas.edu "Love me, love computer science/math?/psychology? \ (512) 472-2052 my Amiga" -Me

Bugs in programs are bugs in programs, whether you use the system or not. Please don't knock down straw men. This is a port of a PD game that's still in beta, not a finished release of a professional one. nj
