- I know, I know, I feel sick about it but I am so pissed off. I have had
- an Amy of one sort or another since the days of 1.2. I stuck with it all
- through the sellout/ripoff. I`ve done my stint on amiga.advocacy. I`ve
- done it all mate.
-
- Why should I pay through the nose for Amiga kit when pc ( spit ) get it
- so cheap. we have been ripped off left and right by companies
- advertising memory/hard drives in amiga mags which the same companies
- are selling in pc mags at 30/40% less than they charge us.
-
- I blame Commodore, in 85 the amiga was a dream come true, in 92 it was
- still a shit hot machine that kicked pc off this planet. it still does
- more with less hardware than any pc I have ever seen. W95 does a bit to
- close the gap but it is still not as good as amigados in any version I
- have seen. Why didn`t CBM spend some money on R&D? All amigas should
- have 24 bit colour/fast SCSI/virtual mem/16 bit sound as standard and
- they should have had it for at least 3 years now.
-
- Escom have made it clear that they got the CBM brand name and thats all
- they wanted. I`ve been into Escom shops all over England and NONE of
- thier staff know anything about the amiga. I think they will be happy to
- let our machine go the same way as the Atmos and the spectrum.
-
- fwiw, I`m not selling out to get a pc,
