- Ah, but you're forgetting that this group is largely full of miserable
- windbags who will do nothing but moan and complain until AT have taken
- over the world by producing a 68060 based system with new AAAA graphics
- chipset, which is more powerful than any PC graphics chipset, 24 bit
- sound, 900 meg harddisk as standard, with a completely rewritten
- operating system, costing $200. Oh, they want it tomorrow as well.
-
- If people want AT to listen to, and participate in discussions in this
- group, I must say that they're really not going the right way about
- it.
