We look at IBMs, Macs, and all we do is yawn. I mean, you cant blame us for disliking it. Its natural. Which would you rather have at your disposal, a Testarossa or a lime-green Yugo? We seem like a very misunderstood group, I agree. BUT. That still dosent overshadow the fact that we CAN, and DO offer multimedia for the masses. More so than any of the "big 3" in the industry put together. Heh, and deprogramming isnt the answer. Theres nothing wrong being being proud of your machine. Look at it this way; If Commodore was to finally ADVERTISE for a change, I wouldnt have to do their job for them.. Give Me Amiga, Or Give Me Death!
