Wouldn't have been possible?

Wouldn't have been *possible*?

Could it be that their programmers were so bright they came up with a
fantastic compression scheme, but they were so dull they couldn't figure
out how to use expansion memory?

Could it be they were so bright that they bypassed Amigados for rapid disk
loading, but were so dull they couldn't make the disks "diskcopy"able?

Who do they think they are fooling? That's what makes it *really* bad;
their complete lack of faith in the consumer's intelligence.
