- Then why show it looking a mess then? For the drives at least, a quick

- I'm afraid I looked at it and thought "what the heck is that?". It's
- not like a mini tower, it's like a 'something'. As a 1200 owner I've
- never experienced the joys of having a tower/box machine, but I've seen friends
- who have box machines, and the ability to plonk the monitor on top of the
- thing is very nice.

- That's what the guy from AT said in the IRC chat he had in #amiga.
- Now OK, it is a prototype, he is (hopefully now, was) a PR guy, but
- 1MB chip should never even have been whispered, it's an utter joke.
- No AGA machine has ever had less than 2MB chip, not even C= were that
- stupid.
