- This is exactly where the analogy breaks down. The applications a
- 512KB Amiga can and does run *now* are state-of-the-art across
- microcomputer platforms.

- BTW, can you quote your original article as saying anything about
- "*its* day"? I don't recall seeing any mention of that at all,
- otherwise I would have pointed it out in my reply to Dan.
