- While I won't comment on the pirating issue, I will comment on the previous:
- I agree with your statement about Amiga Tech (really Escom) I put the same
- statement (in different words "price gouging") several months ago, in the
- Amiga advocacy group and was subsequently submitted to attempts there at
- a public lynching of me. I sympathize with your feelings of rape and feel
- that this greed of Escom, alone will eventually kill the Amiga once and
- for all. Too bad.

- : software and upgrading. But untill I see some support from the head
- : office, I'm not putting a dime into the Amiga.

- Good. Maybe if more people let Escom know that they are offending and
- "biting" the hand that feeds them," They might reconsider their greed. A
- drop in sales would hit them where it counts. I say, give them a CLEAR
- message, that we want REAL WORLD PRICES. They even speak of the new
- "Power Amigas" as being introduced, first as "high end machines" (their
- bullshit phrase for "over pricing") How long will they lead the gullible
- along into thinking they will "eventually" lower prices. It's a line of
- bull. I compliment you for speaking out against their policy of price
- gouging.

- his decision is unnapealable. He sets the fashions of opinion and taste,
- dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a
