Shheeeesh!  Are some of us Amiga folks insecure or what?  Everytime a new
computer is annouced, some Amiga folks start freaking out.

The new Macs?  SO WHAT?  I saw info on these systems weeks ago.  The hardware
struck me as a massive effort in production cost reduction, cleverly
represented as "NEW! IMPROVED!".  That is, with the new Apple products, one
tends to 'pay a price' for the lower cost (e.g.: expandability).

Look, the Amiga has survived in a market filled with all sorts of popular
low cost computers.  It will continue to.

Well, from my experience, CBM *is* fired up - have been for a while now.
