- Oh, if they do... :):):) I will hang a giant poster of Don Gilbreath (I
- think he works for Viscorp...) up over my PowerAmiga tower! It's so hard
- after all these years of seeing the Amiga slipping and slipping from its
- dominance over the rest of the stuff out there. The 2000 was so
- incredible for its time. How can one win a race with all these detours???

- Here's a old story:
- I purchased the old 2088 XT bridgeboard for my 2000 a while back.
- I had had very little experience with PC-clowns at the time, and I asked
- my ever-helpful Amiga dealer: "Why the heck can't I get the PC sound to
- come out of my speakers!!" He smirked... He asked, why would you want
- to??? He gave me a little speaker for about a buck, and said to put it
- inside my machine. I saw (or, rather heard) why...
