Send me some cash and I might give it a go.... Make that *lots* of cash...

The letter would have had a lot more impact ] if it did not mention the Amiga. Not at all; one of his main complaints was the orientation towards IBM PC-clones and MAC's rather than 'small systems'. The Amiga just happens to be one of the small systems Byte ignores. -- Eelco van Asperen. uucp: evas@eurtrx / mcvax!eurtrx!evas #include earn/bitnet: asperen@hroeur5 #include "We'ld like to know a little bit about you for our files" - Mrs.Robinson, Simon & Garfunkel
