- Despite the fact that it quotes one of the old C= marketing
- executives, we might want to consider what it says in the
- latest issue of BYTE, in a text box about Linux entitled "The
- Sound and the Fury." The quote is: "The fanatic element among
- our customer base hasn't done us any favors."

- This harping and jibing about each other's choice in hardware
- makes us look like children. People will be turned off of
- looking at the Amiga just because they associate our childish
- behavior with it. It's not a very objective method of choosing
- a platform, but a lot of people do it nonetheless.
