Why don't we create a newsgroup just for the certain individuals who are 
constantly complaining in one of the following forms?

    1)  "The Amiga should have X just like the Macintosh."

    2)  "I bought my Amiga expecting you jerks to write some software for it!"

    3)  "Commodore should should add the following to the A500 without 
        raising its price:  a 128-bit chipset, 268-bit graphics, 4 transputers,
        and 16MB of SCRAMS (4MB of it being chip mem)."
        
These topics appear to be taking a sufficient amount of the c.s.amiga 
bandwidth to constitute a separate newsgroup, IMNSHO.

All those in favor, send your "Yes" votes, along with $1000 (I have to save up
for a Unix box to support the newsgroup -- yeah, that's it), to:

    greg@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu
    [Note, you MUST have a _wonderful_ sense of humor to respond.]

All those opposed, send your "No" votes to:

    /dev/null
    [Those voting "No" must still send $1000 to the "Yes" address.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll accept cashier's checks, money orders, personal checks, plastic (just
send the card with a legible copy of your signature and I'll take care of
it from there), or (hey -- I'm easy) send cash!

I'll provide USnail address to those interested via email.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To those of you still in the dark:  YES, I'm kidding!!!!!!!

Greg
