Rao) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga Subject: Re: upgrading graphics on only the HIGH END machines Summary: Please stop stereotyping 500 owners Message-ID: <660@osupyr.mast.ohio-state.edu> Date: 6 Jul 88 19:38:45 GMT References: <3174@louie.udel.EDU> <58591@sun.uucp> <150@quintus.UUCP> <58810@sun.uucp> Organization: Ohio State Math-Stats Dept Lines: 9 I find all this sterotyping of 500 owners offensive. I bought a 500 but with a clear knowledge of what I wanted. This is why I got a Pacific peripherals subsystem at the same time: I wanted a machine that can have a harddisk, 2meg+ but no need for IBM compatibility or kludged 020 support. Since CBM doesn't make a 1500, I had to settle for the 500. It is false that I don't spend money on software: I ordered AmigaTeX two days before I bought the cpu. I have spent ~$800 on software, both my own and from grants. Now all I can hear on this net is 'there goes the neighbourhood'. Please people, be more sensitive.
