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.
