- Oh god, the mighty Corn Man speaks again.. with his usual idiotic thinking.
-
- - No Amiga user on the planet has to us 640x200x4 colors.. You tell me

- Use your brain this time.

-
- All plug and play crap cards today work great ? They don't have problems

- Has tons of software and hardware, cost more but it is worth the cost.
