     In the latest issue of BYTE, a reader was asking Jerry Pournelle why
he was ignoring the Amiga.  Jerry replied "The fact is that Atari takes
the trouble to see that I get most of the interesting third-party hardware
and software for its machines, and Commodore doesn't."  He also said that
he just got an Amiga 2000, but it is a bare-bones system.  Come on
Commadore!  Send him a 68020 board and a fast hard disk!  This guy has
been using IBM clones for years with a hard disk, how is he supposed to
be impressed with a floppy-based system?  I know the issue of sending
Jerry some systems has been discussed before, but I just think that if
it is going to be done, it should be done now.  It will be the best $4000.00
ever spent for the Amiga.  Both cheaper and better then a magazine ad.

                                       Are you listening Commadore?
