     If it's acceptable, why not spread some good PR?  But first...

     See my point?  Let's make sure the spelling and grammar gets
cleaned up, so we don't look like those semi-literate Mac users
that people have been arguing about.  Besides, it'll make a MUCH
better impression on your English teacher.  :-)

     Please don't take this as a flame.  I just feel that if we're
going to promote the Amiga, we should try to present the best image
we can.  If we can write something that looks clean and professional,
but still infuses others with the same sort of excitement that we
feel for the Amiga, it's bound to be more effective than something
that sounds like BIFF proclaiming, "HAY D00D, THEEZ AMIGA'S R GRATE!!"

     But I digress.  Tell people about how, thanks to the Video
Toaster, a $5000 Amiga set-up can equal $100,000 worth of specialized
video gear.  Mention the increasing number of musicians who find that
the Amiga has great MIDI software.  Laugh at MS-DOS victims, stuck in
their little 640K world as you slap on another megabyte of memory.
Laugh even harder when their Great White Hope, OS/2, forces them to
buy four megabytes or more do what an Amiga can do in one or two
megabytes.  Express puzzlement at machines that won't let you do
other useful work while you're downloading a large file from a BBS.

     A good source of ideas is right at your fingertips: this very
newsgroup.  Scan the recent articles; Amiga success stories abound.
