:The _A3000_ was sized to fit a Toaster; it isn't Commodore's fault that

:Screw 'em; let Newtek fix their own engineering gaffes.

From all the reports I have read, NewTek designed the Toaster to fit
in just about every available bit of the space allowed. It is the
A3000 that is slightly smaller than what was specififed for the
A2000's video slot. The blame lies with Commodore as NewTek followed
the rules. Then again, it doesn't really matter in the long run. The
Toaster may be the thing to put the Amiga on the map finally. To take
a "Screw 'em" attitude to one of thier MAJOR products is just plain
stupid. Commodore's Big Wigs apparrently agree as was mentioned in a
report in both AmigaWorld and .INFO after they had gone to Kansas to
see the Toaster in action. They felt it was important to the future of
the Amiga.

:Sure, but there's a playground for this kind of stuff; please use it.
:Deliberately starting a thread like this _away_ from .advocacy is just
:being hostile to the c.s.a.* community.

Some of us still do not recieve the new newsgroups such as .advocacy
and therefor can not post to them.
