- You finally understood it... The Amiga has always been a home computer!
- It is now also gaining in the video and multimedia market, but it is and
- will always be, I think, a very competent home computer. I don't see the
- use for CBM to sell the Amiga as a unix system or word processor or
- <business software> computer. The video and multimedia markets are still
- kids compared to other computer markets today. :)
