- -> One thing that we can all agree on is that it is TIME TO DO SOMETHING!
- -> I'm hoping that this is the calm before the Amiga-storm, as in a short time,
- -> they will certainly have an infomercial, visable advertising throughout
- -> North America, stocks of equipment and software abounding in retailers, and
- -> a stunning success...
- ->
- -> The calm before the storm. What else could it be?

- How about it's called waiting for the other shoe to drop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- Let's face it... so far the best we've seen could be classified as a
- half-hearted effort to a platform they rather forget. Of course in this
- scenario, they'd go right ahead and market PCs under Commodore's name :-(
-
- Sad to say the least. I've upgraded to an A3000 and have an A1200 separately
- for AGA capability. That's about the best of both worlds. Nonetheless, it's
- not enough technologically speaking. The PCs have out-grown, out-performed,
- and out-classed Amigas during the last couple of years. Escom should be
- working on tomorrow's technology today [ie, Power Amiga] and leave old
- designs on the board. And I'm an Amiga enthusiast... think what a PC
- nobrainer's gonna say!
