perhaps if they could stop just building them and start shipping
them ??? (thats a joke dont flame me!) seriously this is all so much
BS what counts is the quality and quantity of the software available
for the machines (amiga and ST) and i think the jury is still out on
that. though it is treason i think both machines are excellant for
different reasons
