- You all know what I'm talking about. Sure, sure... PCI slots and a
- multithreaded WB and resource tracking and memory protection and all that
- are very nice, but the Amiga is nothing, absolutely *nothing* without...
-
- The GURU!
-
- Yes! That's right! Re-instate the Guru Meditation Error! Bugger these lame
- "Software Failure" messages, I want an honest Guru once in a while. But
- don't stop there, AT. I want *more* B52s lyrics on the PCBs! I want
- *more* easter eggs in Workbench! I want to be able to press
- control-amiga-double-bucky-cokebottle and get windows popping up with
- secret messages about how froody the engineers were.
-
- That's right folks, to the hell with these stuffed-shirt attitudes to
- computing, I want a machine with *character*! And the Walker case (and
- name!) is a great start.
