Perhaps this should go in net.rumor, but it's more of a query: anyone know
anything definite about the rumored Commodore Amiga? Properties mentioned
in this month's *Creative Computing*:

	8 MHz 68000
	three custom chips to deal sound (four channels, in stereo),
		graphics, and I/O
	128K RAM comes by default, expandable to 1 Mbyte
	one 5" floppy comes by default

Evidently Atari was doing this machine, and Commodore snarfed it. The fellow
in *CC* says "the most impressive consumer graphics and sound machine I have
ever seen" about it.

I, of course, want one running OS-9/68000. (Drool, drool. Maybe we don't have
to flail at Fujitsu until they start selling FM-11 and FM-77 here.)
