Hmmm...  Seems to be a lot of "propagandizing" on the ol' net lately.
Seems like a Commodore engineer would have better things to do than
read c.s.a.st.  ;-)
  Now, don't start on me.  This is not another shot in the Everlasting
Holy War between Atari-types and Commodore-types.  I did my time in the
trenches, but now I have other concerns than "whose floppy is bigger".
The only reason I've brought it up is that all the talk about the merits of
the Amiga 3000 would seem to be better placed somewhere else.  Yes, it's
a neat machine, and dirt cheap besides; but, if a potential TT-er wants to
learn more about the A3000, let him read comp.sys.amiga (or Byte magazine).
  On the other hand, there seems to be little else to do in c.s.a.st besides
random flaming, so maybe a little advertising would put the bandwidth to
better use.  You could even cross-post to misc.foresale.computers.
  Just one guy's opinion...
