So you want to throw the notion around the office various people came up with
here about having a competition for the name? We'd be happy to print an entry
form, as I'm sure would Amiga Plus.
So what's the Amiga Two going to be then? PDA? Console?

The problem with taking this sort of thing too seriously is that you are
reading opinions, not hearing thoughts. I'm sure that a lot of people are
thinking "good, that's reassuring" and don't feel the need to write about it.
You will always receive a far higher proportion of concerns or complaints
than comments of generalised satisfaction.
Maybe we should hold a "mail Gary a positive note day". ;-)

You lasted exactly an hour. :)
