   Actually, I reply to followups often, but lately I have been keeping my
replies almost exclusively to E-Mail, for various reasons that I do not
feel like explaining.  At any rate, I admit that this does give the
impression (to those that don't get my E-Mail messages) that I never reply
to followups.

   Yep, quite a few people did take my advice from that message!  I now
know what Gary Hart felt like when several reporters followed his advice
to 'Go ahead, follow me around...' :-)

   I believe that was 'AMIGA: ...' At any rate, I only wanted Commodore
to disprove that statement, which they did to a certain extent.  I still
am somewhat dissatisfied with the lack of improvements in the Amiga's
color capabilities, but am willing to give Commodore a little more time
for this.
