I just got back from the local dealer who just got in its first
Amiga 500.  Over all, I was pretty pleased.  It works about the
same as a single disk Amiga 1000 with the KS eliminator.  The best
part is that it comes with a decent manual.

I didn't think that C-A knew how to produce documentation.  The
500's manual is well put toghether and has the information to get
initial users up an running.  The chapter on using CLI is a welcome
addition.  Neatest of all is that the schematics are in the back
for inveterate hackers!  There is even a technical reference
section that goes into the basics of what the LSI chips do!
Bravo.

Now, all they have to do is crank 'em out, ADVERTISE!!, cut the
price, and we could possibly have the next generation of the C-64
phenomenon.

Only one gripe:  I whish the power switch were on the computer
rather than on the cordbrick power pack.
