FLAME ON !!!

BULL, BULL & MORE BULL!

Have you seen the Byte by Byte PAL???
It sits on top of the amiga and is connected to the expansion connector.
the way I see it CBM/AMIGA Leaves me with 2 options as far as my footprint
problems are concerned:

	(1) Get a bigger desk (I'd sooner expand my den and fill it with 
			vacum tubes from an ENIAC!!)

	(2) Junk my A1000 and buy a A2000 or A2500 or whatever (as a person
			who bought the amiga BEFORE the free monitor promo
			I won't comment on what my reaction to this is!!)

	There is another option you know........


	(3) FOR SALE:

		AMIGA 1000 computer 512k
		extra 3.5" drive
		1040 monitor
		5.25 drive with "Transformer" (AKA 'downs syndrome' PC emulator)

		WILL TRADE FOR MACINTOSH w/ Mac Charlie

	Geez, I thought that the money hungry opportunists left with Schlemeil
	Trameil!!  Way to go amiga !!  Screw your existing customer base!!
	I have a machine that is about a year old and it's obsolete already!!

	How about it? how do some of the rest of you in net-land feel?
	are you happy to know that the company you have been faithful to
	has no intension of keeping you compatable with future products! 
	My amiga is useless, finished, another PC-JR!!

	it's no wonder that Consumer Reports magazine called the amiga a

		"HIGH TECH DOORSTOP"

	By the way I'm serious about my amiga being for sale!! anyone interested
	can contact me:

	FLAME OFF!
