Sounds like sloppy journalism to me. To paraphrase a famous American author.
'Rumors of Amiga's death are greatly exagerated.' :^} I suggest that item 9
be changed to:

	9) Personal Computing Magazine. (Midnight Enquirer Award)

I'm tempted to buy the magazine just so I can get the address to write
the author a letter. Personal computer mags are (with a few notable
execptions such as DDJ) garbage. I definately would not trust some
bozo like this author to tell me which computer to buy. If I did I would
have an IBM PC/XT/AT compatable in front of me. After all that's what 
everybody else has.
