The Mac is like the Olds: a car for people who don't really want a car. The Amiga, on this scale, is a Maserati Biturbo, or a 'vette. Yeh, and the Compaq is a Ford Tempo. And the Atari ST is a Mercury. And the Nintendo Game Boy is a Moped, and the Atari Lynx is a Kawasaki Ninja, and Dan Quayle is a VW Beetle. And George Bush is a VW Jetta. And Ronald Reagan is a Karmann Ghia. And I'm a tugboat. Toot! Toot! -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
