Get real you guys.  For $1600, less than the price of an imported PClone you
got a machine faster than an AT, with fancy color better than EGA, DMA
everything, durable high density 3 1/2" disks, 68000 linear-address-space
processor, multitasking OS with installable device drivers, built-in RAM
disk, excellent software libraries.  They provide you with what you want(?),
a PC for free in software, and another one in hardware for under $1K, and
now you wanna bitch?  You can't put your mouse on top of the sidecar and
your desk is too small?  So the Amiga is worthless and they obviously
screwed you and you are mad as hell?  Give us all a break.

Seriously, although having the sidecar on top would be neat, it is not
essential.  I sort of liked the Transformer.  It fit inside.  I also like
having my Amiga this year instead of waiting for next year.  Bring on the
C64 emulator.  Bring on the CPM emulator.  Bring on Transformer II.  Do it
all in software.  Software fits inside.

I am affiliated with Amiga only to the extent that I own one and approve in
general with their development priorities.
