-
- AT seems pretty distant to me. Out of sight, in fact. (out of touch?) :-/
-
- >I doubt that they are going to break into the business world with the Amiga,
- >no matter how much cash they put into an advertising campaign.
-
- Yeah, but it couldn't hurt!

-
- Sure, but this thing is down right frieky. I was embarresed to look at that it.
- I think it's to wierd looking to be a mainstream success. And what's inside is
- not impressive enough to abandon good taste. It seems to me that the majority
- of people buying computers, are doing it conservatively.

-
- The Indy looks sleek. Scuptured, but it's still rectangular. The Walker project
- looks totally retro. If you open it, do you find a bunch of radio tubes? Power
- it up and hear, "This is Bob 'Texico' Hope saying, 'Thanks for the memories.'"
