  Well, that's not a fair comment.  At this point _we_ don't know when it
will be ready (if we did, we'd tell you), so how can you make a definitive
statement about when a machine would be ready?  (And didn't you guys get
the ST before we here in the US did?  mumble, mumble, mumble... <grin>).

  Again, this may or may not turn out to be the case.  As _soon_ as we have
them, we'll get them out the door--and right now, our ability to get them
out the door rests with a third party over whom we have no control.

  We're working on it, I promise!

  True--but I personally find that a fairly minor bug.  And on the other hand,
the Amiga's the only machine I know that you can crash by following the
boot disc directions exactly!  (I've done this a _bunch_... <grin>)
