Let's keep the heat down folks.  Just what happened in San Diego is turning
into the mystery of the year.  Whatever this object was that was shown by
"Commodore Reps", it is not the A3000 that Irving Gould mentioned at the

showed it or the writers from the Amiga magazines I appreciate receiving
some mail with the details....
