- John,
- Just because somebody chooses to cruise the 'net with
- Big Blue doesn't mean they're a traitor or anything.
-
- I buy and sell Amigas every day of my life. We integrate
- them into our teleprompter systems. Love 'em!
-
- As far as we're concerned, computers are one-trick ponies
- anyway--good for really only one application. So we use
- an A1200 (120MB IDE, GVP Turbo II 030/fpu @40MHz, 8MB 60ns
- GVP Fast RAM, 2MB chip RAM) for our video work w/Scala...
- and an IBM clone 486DX66 to cruise the 'net and to drive
- all our business applications.
-
- Always thought IBM stood for "Inferior But Marketable"--
- market it they did! Tough to fight Big Blue's market
- penetration!
