I also enjoy Perry's postings, even if he does have some commercial
interest in telling us about ASDG's products.  I think `commercial
use of the net' means using net bandwidth and many other people's
phone bills to flog your product.  Perry is telling us about what
ASDG is producing (it does so much, it goes so fast, it works like
this, it costs so much) more accurately and currently than someone
who bought their board would in a review.  He's not flogging it
(It slices! It dices! And, if you order now, we'll throw in,
absolutely free, a set of amazing ginsu knives! (click) It slices!
It dices! And, if you order now....) in some content-free weekly
posting.

The most commercial use I've seen made of the net were Marilyn Dee's
headhunter postings in net.jobs.  Even then, what made her particularly
objectionable was her write-only mailbox.

Anyone who wants to make a comparison should get their asbestos suit
out of the closet.

(Also, I'm just dying to know what the ASDG guys are up to!
If they keep up the rate at which they're making interesting
Amiga hardware, they'll be making the Amigae 3000+.
:-)? or hint?)
