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). Certainly not from the good ol' USA... try
Taiwan.

Also, speaking of adds, has anyone seen the absolutely ridiculous Amiga add?
See discussion on net.micro.amiga and then we can talk about "slimy"
 & ineffective advertising.

I probably should have *flamed* this!
