Lines: 29 From: Louis A. MamakosHaving grown impatient waiting for my Amiga, I called Commodore yesterday asking about my development system. They said that I should have it the very next day. Sure. They said the the "Check, er Machine is in the mail." We'll see. Sure enough, today I find that two large boxes from Commodore are just waiting for me. One was obviously the color monitor (NOT the one you see in all of the photographs of the Amiga). I immediatly tore into the other box which contained my "Amiga 1000" computer system, the extra 256K memory expansion and the addition 800K microfloppy driver. "I'm all set to hack now" he says to himself. I search through the foam "peanuts" used as packing for the manuals, etc. Nothing. I frantically search through the peanuts, spreading them all over my clean carpet. Still nothing. $%^*&*#(@ he cries, not even the stupid Amiga Kickstart disk. Where's my kickstart disk? Where's my C language development system? Where's my many volumes of documentation? Why is Commodore playing this cruel trick on me? These, and many other good questions will be asked tomorrow. In the mean time, my 512K Amiga, with two disks, mouse and monitor just asks me to insert to Kickstart disk. That's all. Real neat. Not bad for $1900. Louis A.
