Yea.. better to let others pay the freight here on Usenet, then make all sorts
of demands that you get even better value for the money others spend on your
behalf.

the disk he gets from Commodore remains uninfected, then he needs a new head.
If he sells Amigas, he will get the new stuff with them. Think, willya!
