- So does this mean we'll be seeing the return of the Amiga, or am I just getting
- my hopes up (again) only to have them cruelly stamped down (again - nice
- metaphor, eh?)? Not just the return of the Amiga, but some development along
- the computer lines. Let's face it, Amiga's are no longer the creme de le
- creme they once were (though an Amiga 500 w/ 1MB can still multitask better
- than WinDoze 95 can, but I digress...) so it would be nice to see some new
- machines, and some enhancements made to the old ones to show you're trying,
- that will be sold and MARKETED in the United States.

- Of course, I have my own marketing theories, but I've rambled on enough already.
