Lines: 24 ["Resistance is useless!" shouted the guard] I had a friend of mine over from work a couple of weeks ago. He was boasting (in a friendly sort of way) about his new Mack II and 140 Meg harddisk and how many thousands of dollars it set him back even with all the special discounts he got. Well, I booted up Amy here. It was the first one he'd ever seen. I brought up "Bizzerk", "Killer", "RGB" and "focus" for him. He just kinda shook his head (in a friendly sort of way) and said "Wow, my Mack will never be able to do that". He suggested that had he not invested so much in the Mack Too, he would've given the Amiga a serious consideration. ------------------------ P.S.
