<< Gateway...new version of the Amiga >> Ahhh...thanks for mentioning that. I still have my awesome antique Amiga 1000 from 1986. It was way, way ahead of its time (and Bill Gates) with its windows and multiprogramming op system (and non-Intel processor). Sadly, Commodore became toast with stupidly pathetic marketing, making the Amiga a poor orphan...kicked around and kicked around until Gateway scooped it up. Unfortunately, it's a bit late for a revival. Maybe AMD can learn something here...just having a superbly excellent product absolutely does not guarantee success. Success must be earned in the factory trenches and in the marketplace. Consistently without a black bottom line, AMD starts to resemble Commodore...dead. regards, Dan
