Arrggh.  Ain't it the truth?  My Amiga has been on loan to my father for
the last 6 months (I've been too busy to use it), and I just  got it back
last Friday.  Well, one of my roommates (not particularly up-to-date
on non-MS-DOS machines...not even up-to-date on MS-DOS machines,actually)
saw it whileI was using it and asked me, "Hey, is that like Windows?"
(*whimper*)  I responded, "Sort of, although this has been out a lot
longer than *usable* Windows."  (I know WIndows has been out for 7 years...
why it took Microsoft 7 years to get the thing even close to useable
is beyond me.)  Anyway, he truly did not know what an Amiga was....
