This is the first line of an article published about a week ago in the
Washington Post:
                    The Amiga is dead.

 The article is written by Phillip Robinson, editor of Virtual
Information of Sausalito California.
     The author goes on to say:
       " The Amiga died because Commodore denied it growth,
         support or even respect."

 He then goes on to give a brief history of the Amiga, praising it for
being far ahead of it's time as well as being ahead of it's competition
( Mac and IBM ) particularly as far as multimedia is concerned.

 Towards the end of the article he says:
       " If you have an Amiga, don't fret about this news....
        ....there will be new games, a few new accelerator
        boards and fellow enthusiasts to club with for another
        five years at least...Maybe at least other computer
        companies will learn a lesson of caring and respect
        from this sad affair"

    When he says the Amiga is dead, after all the praise and reverence
contained in the rest of the article, he certainly can't be speaking
metaphorically. . . .
