Quite right...if they promise a new machine in March but then try to sell
the same old 1200 for Christmas, especially at ú100 more than a
PlayStation, well, they shouldn't be too surprised if they don't have as
much success as they would have liked...I would have bought a new Amiga
for Christmas, but I'm patient enough to wait three extra months for what
should be a superior machine, and the next step up from the
A1200...besides, it ought to be a cheaper way to get Net access...

Does anyone know if there's a decent browser for the Amiga?  If almost
everything is Netscape enhanced, won't the Amiga offer a poor substitute?


Thanks,
