Whatever commodore does, I *HOPE* that they don't start making joysticks.. With the advent of the 3000, a joystick would only verify most people's suspicions that the Amiga is only a game machine... I use my Amiga for writing papers and software development.. I would like to continue to see growth in the Amiga's true usefulness. True, the Amiga was originally designed as a game machine (I've read the patent, probably most of us have), but I believe it's REAL power lies in development tools.. let's face it.. the Amiga is *FUN* to program.! :) Nothing I like more than GURU #3 and 4.. I get these all the time. -- Disclaimer: None needed... my lawyer makes more money than yours. uucp: ...!{allegra,amd,hplabs,seismo,ut-ngp}!gatech!prism!gt5784a ARPA: gt5784a@prism.gatech.edu
