-
- "The most versatile computer in the world. In the home and in the office."

- >Games ??? No, we have a VGA-only system .
-
- We do have what ?
-
- >Sound ??? ahh.. 8 bit, since the A1000 ... too noisy.
-
- Sorry, the crappy 8bit digitizers your kind uses are too noisy.
- 8bit or enough for games and multimedia and if you want to make
- music you buy a professional synthesizer.

- >DTP,CAD ??? MSword, Autocad ..... the name of the standard ...
-
- You probably never used MSword, otherwise you wouldn't call it DTP :)
-
- >Graphics ??? RTG -> no way. lots of WB-emulations, none of them perfect.
-
- None of the perfect ? Well, nothing is perfect. But you ask for the perfect
- idiocy. HEY, IT IS YOUR SHITTY CODE THAT CRASHES ALL THE TIME !

-
- >I really wonder, why anyone should buy such a machine priced twice over the PC.
-
- Yes. The PC is such a marvelous thing. I am wondering why there is anything else
- at all.
