- Look who's calling the kettle black. In the three years I've been reading
- comp.sys.amiga newsgroups, there's been nobody who has posted anywhere near
- the amount of falsehoods, speculation presented as fact, and general doom
- and gloom with respect to Commodore and the Amiga than you, Marc. I've
- never seen an apology from you when someone from Commodore has bothered to
- correct your postings. You usually just wait 2-3 months and repeat it as
- another of your "facts".
-
- Even your claim of less than 1000 dealers is probably in error. Not all
- places that sell Amigas are computer dealers, some are mass market retailers,
- like Montgomery Wards, some are video equipment companies, etc. I'd bet I
- could find 20 places in Minnesota that sell Amiga hardware, and a lot more
- that sell Amiga software.
-
- Why don't you sell your Amiga, buy one of those wonderful IBM PC clones,
- and post to the PC groups. We already know that the Amiga is a niche
- market, doesn't have all of the latest gee whiz technology, and is never
- going to replace the PC or the Mac. We like it for what it has, and when
- we need a new computer, maybe we'll jump ship if the competition has what
- we want. We don't need you to continue to sound the death toll, three
- to four years is long enough.
