- All I can say is that when I was responding to that, I was in the
- initial throes of a bad, bad, bad case of stomach flu. Plus, I do have
- a tendency to write down to the level of my responder. In other words,
- intellectual, intelligent, and logical with you, Gary, since that's the
- way that you write, and....another way with George, I guess.

-
- As I said, I was sick. Plus, I guess I was insulting him because of
- his rather insulting remarks to me ("You don't like the 1200, so you
- don't like Amigas!").

-
- Point One: For once, I wasn't talking about Wal-Mart. You missed the
- beginning of this convo, where George was taking me to task for my
- anti-Wal-Mart bias by saying that he bought his first C= systems in a
- place called General Tire, and implied that he'd like to see a new
- Amiga system in the same situation.
-
- Point Two: The name of the game is EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE all
- right. So where's the PROMOTION, PROMOTION, PROMOTION to get that
- exposure?
-
- Point Three: Put those quotes around 'meat' when you're dealing with
- Sam's Club.

-
- GP> Another excellent 'child-like' response to George. I AM impressed! :)
-
- Come on, I was sick, dammit!
-
- GP> >Jesus, Byron, was he like this on his board?
-
- GP> Were you?
-
- I was never on his board; Byron was. That's why I was asking.
