Well, I tried to refrain from flaming this illiterate Amoeboid, but I can't.

Of course not.  The Amiga's non-upgradeable graphics are just perfect for
the game machine that it is.  Hey, what the hell is a "Flicker Fixer"
anyway?  I know, I know -- there are additional graphics boards for the
higher-end Amoebas.  Can you imagine that?  Commodore is so behind the
times that it has to ask third parties to make graphics cards for them.
That oughta tell you something, eh Malcolm?

If you really think that IBM is worried about people converting away from
DOS to the Amiga, then I suggest that you wake up and smell the sh*t you're
shoveling.  Obviously you've never used Windows.  No, I guess you're happy
running your Amoeba's GUI with its whopping 200-line screen resolution.
What's that?  I know, I know -- it IS possible to use 400 lines if youve got a
good supply of Visine.

Anyone who would like to play Wing Commander, the game that kicks ass on
anything ever made for the Amoeba.

Are you high on crack, or have you just been staring at your Amoeba's GURU
screen for too long?
