:TITLE: Amiga(r) High Resolution Color Graphics Card
: [ ... ]
:*	Programmable resolutions up to 1024x1024 pixels.
:
	I sense some hidden information here, such as, "Yeah, you can get 1K
x 1K, but only in monochrome."  Which isn't to say that's bad...

:*	A Texas Instruments(tm) TMS34010 high speed graphics system processor
:	executing graphics commands at up to 6 million instructions per
:	second.
:
	Is this good?  The PC parket is jumping all over it, and therefore I
can't help but feel there's something wrong with it...

:*	The industry standard TIGA graphics library provides a library
:	of high speed graphics routines which execute on the TMS34010.
:
	TIGA?  Never heard of it.  Could someone provide details?

:TITLE: AMIX(TM)- UNIX(tm) System V Compatible for Amiga(r) 2500UX
: [ ... ]
:	standard development tools include:
:
:	cc          make          lint
:	sdb         yacc          terminfo
:
	Well, if you're going to include 'yacc', then where's 'lex'?  Or is
'yacc' really 'bison'?

:*	Standard utilities and text processing tools include:
:
:	tbl            eqn          vi         man
:
	Where's 'troff' and 'nroff'?  I thought 'tbl' and 'eqn' were macro
packages for the *roff programs.
