If this is all you can complain about, them I say you have very little to say at all. Speaking along those lines, where do you think IBM gets their "machines" (intentional quotes).

See discussion on net.micro.amiga and then we can talk about "slimy" & ineffective advertising. I probably should have *flamed* this! Aloha, Jonathan Spangler {ihnp4,vortex,dual}!islenet!jons
