- A little remark here: Perhaps Germany can't follow this renaming. Because
- AGA is already occupied here by, guess who?: yes, Commodore. We had an
- AGA card (Advanced Graphics Adapter) in our stoneage (and also not so very
- old, say 2 years ago) versions of MS-DOS PCs. Many people here *still*
- know about this device, and it sported such amazing features like CGA and
- Hercules on one board, wow! Obviously we should not try to make people
- confuse the AA chips with that old board. *Nobody* here knew about that
- name change in advance, it's really amazing.
