I think I'm on some king of anti-Timothy Leary kick, so here goes:

In the latest Verbum (I don't have it, too expensive) Leary praises
the Amiga (much deserved, and I own an ST).  Then he goes on to praise
it for its _low_price_, saying that a kid in the ghetto (yes, in the 
ghetto) could get one, and plug into all that good computer stuff.

I don't know about you, but since when is $600+ (a 500 with no monitor
but some software) affordable?  I'm middle class, but a computer would
end up a significant investment if I wanted to make it useful (sw, disks,
time, and communication).

BTW, I believe Leary was quoted; not writing the article.
