    I'm only interested if they rename the PPC chip "Even Fatter Agnus".

    I wonder when they're coming out with the new Vic-20?

    ...what a year! Mozilla hits 1.0, Warcraft III is released, Apple makes a rackmount server, and now Amiga finally releases new hardware.

    Hell must be a cold, cold, cold place by now. At this rate, I expect my quantum computer to arrive by Christmas.

      It's not like Duke Nukem Forever was released, though.

    A friend of mine who's still using his Amiga of old has an amusing anecdote similar to this: At one time he had the "fastest Mac in the world" -- an Amiga running it under an emulator. He said the Apple guys were really pissed. :) (Hi, Knute!)

    I still miss my old Amiga. We had some good times. --snif-- I doubt I'll get this one, though, as it's probably more fun to sit around and be nostalgic in a diffuse kind of way.
