I DON'T think so... Actually, the *original* Amiga was designed as a game machine; something along the lines of a super Atari 2600. But it evolved into a "real computer" before the public could get to it. Many folks wince at the phrase "game machine" but I don't see anything wrong with it, myself. This "game machine" of mine is pretty nice, actually. Beats a Nintendo all to hell :) >Dave bj ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Brian Jackson Software Engineer, Commodore-Amiga Inc.
