Well, it's because the Jersey Amiga User's Group got to see it
tonight.  We also saw a running version of the A500!  It was quite
impressive, (check your local magazines for more info) and such a
deal!  The only thing I wasn't thrilled by was that the A500's power
switch is on the external power supply (which is probably a
cost-cutting measure, no?).  Thanks to Jeff Porter and George Robbins
for coming out to the meeting.

Too bad you missed it.  They were giving A500's away, yeah... It was
as if they had a truckload of 'em...They couldn't give 'em away fast
enough, yeah...I'm using 3 of them as doorstops, yeah, that's the
ticket.
