     Heh heh,that's a pretty good idea.  Sure would sell a lot of Amigas.
C-A surely should take notes.  And call it "Cray Killer" too.  Seymour Cray
must be having some sleepless nights knowing that 1,000 Amigas are more 
versatile than a Cray (you can arrange them into any furniture you want, 
instead of the drab sofa that a Cray is ;-)..

     Also, why not pull the Amigas out of their plastic box, put them into 
some large steel box (oh, about 200 Amigas per box), and paint them blue.  That
way we can make Big Blue sweat too...

Reality?!?  That word's not in my dictionary...
