[The line-eater is reading the discussion on news.groups 
about deleting comp.sys.amiga.tech and creating c.s.a.programmer, 
c.s.a.hardware and c.s.a.arts; aren't YOU?]

First of all, doesn't anyone else think it's a bit too late to 
discuss MAJOR design decisions such as bus specs?  Don't you think 
that decision was made at least a year ago?  I think the only 
discuss-able topics are in the magnitude of "should the mouse-cord 
length be increased" and "should they change the color of the case".

The rest of this post is COMPLETELY sarcastic.

...and THANK GOD for that!  I just helped someone buy a 486 machine 
and I know that when I spend $xx,000 on a new computer my TOP TOP TOP 
priority is being able to re-used my 8-bit CGA card.  Otherwise I'd 
have to sell it used for about $25.

Blaaagh.
