- Well said. I bought an Amiga 500 at the age of 68, after owning a CBM64,
- because I knew there would always be something to learn and discover. I
- knew I'd never be bored. And I wasn't disappointed: there's never a
- dull moment.

- There's such a variety of development still going on for Amigas - you have
- only to look on aminet. And an Amiga is not just a tool: it's a research
- & development machine. I can have my BBS running with a caller on it,
- while I'm calling out on another line fetching news and mail, and in the
- background I'll have CygnusEd and DirOpus running all at the same time on
- my A4000.
