- I'd always thought Marc was an AI project (that's Artificial
- Ignorance) at ISU. I'd rate it as a success. I bet it even
- has government support, and certainly deserves it since so
- many governments are benefitting from the fruits of the
- project in soooo many different policy areas.
-
- :-) for the humour-impaired.
-
- What the AI project does is play politics; cast doubts,
- denegrate anything that's new for not being the same as the
- old thing, and criticise because the Amiga is not a Cray
- Y-MP with an SGI front end with 4GB of RAM and 4 terabytes
- of SCSI-2-FAST RAID disk, running in a 2kg laptop powered by
- solar cells, with a 16 billion colour 10000 * 10000 pixel
- LCD display, and selling for $300. Not forgetting that is
- has to run all his old games which he picked out of the
- remainder bin at the computer store, for $2 each.
-
- And I hope that I didn't reveal any of CBM's furture plans
- for the Amiga ;-)
