- I know some other people who would be greatful for this: cable operators.
- Amigas are uses to produce the Preview Guide that is carried by many local
- cable systems, and I don't know how many times I have turned over to the
- Preview Guide and seen the infamous GURU flashing. Having the automatic
- reboot from the GURU would make the Amiga a bit more acceptable for other kinds
- of automated on-air uses.
