by Golmo/MANITOU Today it's March 4th, and I'm sitting infront of my Computer writing Articles for my favourite mag 'SUICID'. Again it'll be a boring Article, but who cares... Since ca.4 weeks I'm a proud owner of the newest masterpiece of COMMODORE. The new AMIGA 1200. Perhaps, if ya know me, ya know that I sold my good old A500 on Dez 21st 1992. I think nothing in my life will be soooo horrible as the feeling I had, as I unpluged my friend an gave it to a stranger, for a small ammount of money (SNIEF). Anyway, that was Dez 21st. Smart as I am I had called a company called 'INTERCOMP' and I've asked someone if they had some A1200 left. "Of course, we have 30 Comps left",said a very nice woman. "Do ya wanna order one?" That happed on Dez 20th, and I hadn't sold my computer yet, and so I told her that I would call the next day to order one. And I don't know how often I said to her: "Please lay one of them aside, I'll call tomorrow." And she always ans- wered: "Yes, of course, Yes, of course, ..." The next day, it was Dez 21st, after I had sold my A500, I called, as promised, INTERCOMP. "Hello? Yeah, I wanna order a A1200. WHAAAAAT?!?!? There's no one left? But yesterday - 30 Comps - till how can I get one - WHAAAAAT? End of Feb? ... KRKRSCHSTTUSSISLOSH ... TUUUT ... TUUUT ... Ya can believe me. 2 month without computer. Oh, I know. Some of you will say "such a maniac - a computer addicted". Yep, I'm addicted. And I'm proud of that! Anyway, 2 month without computer (and 2 weeks hollidays) were definately too long for me. I drove to Germany - "Sorry, no A1200 left", phoned through whole Austria, and everywhere the same answer: W E * D O N'T * H A V E * A * A M I G A * 1 2 0 0 But guess where I found my honey .... This secret will never be solved! Yep, that was my short storry about 'How to buy a A1200'. At the end a short message to COON-O: How can I be fined for parking my horse wrong infront of the Saloon? Don't ya know the old wisdom from the chief of the Indians: *** DONT'T DRING AND DRIVE - TAKE DRUGS AND FLY *** O.k. That about covers it. By from the great'n'brave chief of the Indians: GOLMO/MTU
