They DID do a look at the A2000. But that is the best they did. (And there are interesting C= vs BYTE politics involved here. C= tried to tell BYTE how to cover their revolutionary new machine which was little more than a repackaged A1000. BYTE balked and some bad feelings evolved. Mostly these have been patched over; but, BYTE is now a PCLone rag with a token Macintosh coverage. This is imspite of 1) Amiga conferences being the biggest thing on BIX today and quite regularly in the past, and 2) liberal flames on BIX about the lack of Amiga coverage, and 3) BYTE's lack of general interest articles with way way too many 'reviews" instead. Ah well... Such is life.) (And hooboy - you usenet guys never flamed Jerry as well as Fred Langa has been fried over the death of the er ah um "Classic BYTE".) -- Sometimes a bird in the hand leaves a sticky deposit. Perhaps it were best it remain there in the bush with the other one. {@_@} jdow@bix (where else?) Sometimes the dragon wins. Sometimes jdow@gryphon.CTS.COM the knight. Does the fair maiden ever {backbone}!gryphon!jdow win? Surely both the knight and dragon stink. Maybe the maiden should suicide? Better yet - she should get an Amiga and quit playing with dragons and knights.
