- Agreed. That was what floored me in the first place.
-
-
- > While Byte doesn't cover the Amiga as heavily as they do the clones...
-
- Definitely a master of understatement here. ;-)

-
- Agreed! His comments regarding his "dream" machines would arouse me from a
- deep sleep in a cold sweat!

- Yes, they did do a decent article and it was one that I read a couple of
- dozen times... a real change for me and Byte. I was a subscriber to Byte
- many moons ago when it really was "the small systems journal" and not the
- MSDOG Gazette with a few crumbs for the Mac. I guess that my problem with
- Byte is not that particular article but with the fact that there have been
- so damned few articles in Byte about the Amiga. This machine MUST be
- mentioned whenever DTV or multimedia are mentioned. This rarely occurs. I
- know that Amiga users represent only about 5% of the computer users but
- that should generate MORE than 0.5% of the coverage in Byte, IMHO. Oh,
- well... maybe that's why I don't subscribe anymore.
