- Yes, Amiga fans, the rumors are true! As of six hours ago,
- VIScorp has been purchased in a surprise takeover by BLAZEMONGER
- INCORPORATED. VIScorp chief honcho and generally cool guy Carl
- Saskatchewan is reportedly "delighted" with the acquisition and looks
- forward to an "er... unusual product line" to be introduced at next
- month's WORLD OF BLAZEMONGER conference in Chickenmilk, Wisconsin.
-
- Among the products to be introduced at the W.O.B. are:
-
- o The Amiga ST: a set-top computer that, when attached to
- any television set, automatically converts all incoming
- programs into reruns of "Gilligan's Island."
-
- o Sidecar II, an IBM PC emulator roughly the size of
- the Queen Elizabeth II luxury liner. Comes complete with
- torpedos.
-
- o BLAZESCAPE, the ONLY World Wide Web browser capable of
- connecting to ALTERNATE DIMENSIONS. Features multithreading,
- HTML 6.0, and new Virtual Java (TM) which beams cool
- animations DIRECTLY into your CEREBRAL CORTEX with a
- sledgehammer.
-
- o The AmigaBICEP 5000, their new top-of-the-line computer. In
- direct contrast to the original Amiga 1000, which used an
- off-the-shelf CPU and a custom graphics chipset, BLAZEMONGER
- INCORPORATED has decided to use an off-the-shelf graphics
- chipset and a custom CPU. Known as the BLAZEIUM chip, this
- little speed demon runs at a blazing 2,000,000 tychohertz (10
- to the power 8275, base 19) and features over EIGHT BILLION
- REGISTERS for the ULTIMATE in hardware banging!!!
-
- o And of course, BLAZEMONGER MCXLVII: "FATAL DEATH KILLERS OF
- ARMAGEDDON." [Availability is pending the overturn of the
- Communications Decency Act, and possibly the Geneva Convention.]
-
- See you in Chickenmilk!!
