- People like you really amaze me on how important you feel the color is!!!!
- Why you equate a different color with more $$$$$$ is beyond me.
- Are you that VAIN that you feel you have to buy a Black Monitor so
- your designer looking system won't clash!!! bwahahahahaha

- If you really feel so bad about the color why not spend 4$ instead and buy some
- black modeling paint to make it match.

- Yes if they're smart they will go with Industry standard (read the most used in the world)
- chips. Wake up call. No computer advances or stays current codling old technology
- or proprietary technology that very few people use.

- No I feel he would be smiling from ear to ear considering the Amiga is the *ONLY* home
- computer to ever survive when the parent manufacturing company died!!!!
- Remember it was a full year and a half with no new machines introduced that the Amiga
- contiuned on and still does.

- To quote REALITY:
- We need up to date and standard hardware that can be used NOW, not codling
- to the PAST and holding onto outdated/slow and inept equipment. At present the one and only
- thing that makes an Amiga a joy to use and easier than a PC or MAC is it's Operating System.
- The Amigas proprietary graphics chips and 4 channel sound are at best DINOSAURS that need
- replacing......No more proprietary stuff that will get very little support. If the Amiga was a mass
- produced/purchased item then it's chipset would be the norm and not the exception.
- Sorry but no more holding onto A500 technology, time to face the music and make an evolving
- system, not a system we keep adding bandages and crutches to.
