***WARNING, FLAMES AHEAD!!!*********


As I sit here at my desk I wonder what will happen when December
comes around and I *Finally* get the IBM compatability I was promised
when I purchased my little gem.  By that I mean where will my mouse 
go?  I've heard that the "Sidecar" will take another SQUARE FOOT of
tabletop!! combine that with the 3.5 and 5.25 drives I already own
and we're talking parking lot city!!!

I realize that it may be a little late in the game to suggest 
packaging formats for the sidecar but when I read things like 
the AMIGO's description of the amiga 2000 or 2500 or whatever:

	'sidecar circuitry & expansion slots built in'

(see the latest Amazing computing) I GET *REALLY* PISSED!

Meanwhile, my yuppie friends with MAC's can carry their toy
anywhere in a fancy little nylon case. What's more, every upgrade
APPLE has made has fit INSIDE the MAC case!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make the sidecar sit ON TOP of the amiga CPU!!!
Is there any reason to do otherwise??
Engineering problems?
Financial problems?
What possible reasons are there to make the sidecar sit beside the amiga??

PLEASE RESPOND CBM/AMIGA
