<comments about Amiga omitted>

#define flame
This newsgroup is starting to look like a pep rally for some Amiga user
group.  The comp.sys.amiga.* hierarchy is out there somewhere, for those
who need to post such meaningless drivel.
#undef flame

It would be much more useful, IMHO, to take up issues such as the
following:

* is a multimedia interface really useful for projects of type Z on
  system X?
* the establishment of a list of Frequently Asked Questions about multimedia
  implementation
* what multimedia formats are currently handled with existing software, and
  on what machines?  (If there were a periodic list, as on comp.compression
  and comp.graphics, that would be useful.)
* kludges for exchanging multimedia mail between system A, system S,
  system N, and so on...
