- 80 megs of storage is needed!! Looks like the other platforms are not
- the only
- ones that are plagued by bloatness and high price..

- You call 80 megs bloated? The @!#$@ IBM release was almost 200 megs!
- What does this tell you? We are still getting screwed in most
- likelihood!
-
- I am just hopeful that my sending out free copies of the "non-existant"
- beta is a part of what made them (Oldtek) to finally ship the Amiga
- release.
-
- Just a concerned and frustrated amiga user like the rest of them, still
- waiting to see NEW amiga products in USA!
