- Hi Martin,
-
- I do believe in your upgrade-paths, therefore it was no need to mention
- GREENIE/RE! Yes, i thought about the lack of processors, but doesn't it
- sound like the advertising of M*NOX Cameras: "Again we tried to build a
- camera smaller than the films, and again we failed!"
-
- Put two and two together and you can see that there will be not enough
- space even for a third processor! Ah, and what about these aplications?
- Can't be too demanding? For Tetris an Indigo Elan is a must! Why didn't
- you tell us the truth about the acronym Indigo? As I mentioned 2 weeks
- ago: INDIGamebOy! SGI, this game is over. We'll strike back, and one of
- our first aims is to let the GREENIE have a gameport!

- joke!
