Sheesh!! You know, you're right. The IBM PC gives faster directory listings
than the Amiga. We all know (nudge, nudge, wink of the eye) that the IBM
is the better of the two machines. I think that you DESERVE an IBM PC. 
And as for CLI, how could anyone (know what I mean) compare that to the
infinately superior MS-DOS command interpreter. I mean, if it can't fit
it 640K why even run the damn thing. 
     Graphics? Who needs 'em. 
     Multi-tasking? Thing of the past. 
     Stereo sound? Say what? 
     Multi-mate? Can't run it. 
     1-2-3? Can't live with out it!
How could I have been so stupid as to buy an amiga. It should be written:
"And on the 6th day IBM rested and as it was so shall it ever be so." 

     THE EARTH IS FLAT!! (just put this in for effect.) 

Well enough parody. I guess its time to CD (cringe!). Maybe I'll post another
news article on my Amiga's terminal emulator while my Amiga CDs (wait, wait, 
wait). If only I could afford a PC my prayers would be answered. Then I could
CD all day long in the time the Amiga could be running a program. And just
wait till the '386s hit the market with MS-DOS 5.0 (can you say kludge).

In case you can't guess, the only line I didn't exagerate said, "I think you 
DESERVE an IBM PC."

I have a theory that Commidore posts these ludicrous letters just to see
the response. If thats true, cut it out. It pisses me to no end! CUT IT OUT!
