Herron) Organization: The Wollongong Group, Palo Alto, CA Lines: 26 A friend of mine who is a Mac-oid (and before that, Apple-][-oid), but who is also impressed with some of the things he see's in Amiga's, was looking for a new computer a little while ago. For part of his looking around he read comp.sys.amiga.all for awhile. He got this impression that the Amiga's had a higher amount of random-flakiness than the other computers. He wouldn't listen that he wasn't taking a statistically bad sample .. And in any case, it might've been a good sample. Some people claim that random-flakiness is cured by adding a UPS type thing to the system. This is one of those Customer Perceptions which should be erased if it's to be taken as a Serious Machine. Maybe C= can increase/improve QA if it's necessary? etc... -- <- David Herron, an MMDF weenie, <- Formerly: David Herron -- NonResident E-Mail Hack <- <- Sign me up for one "I survived Jaka's Story" T-shirt!
