You spaketh such truths! I didn't get an Amiga until 'Feb. '99!
And OHHOOOooo! what a sorry day THAT was.

Or, like me, 60 or over - don't worry - I'm not in the 'over' bracket
just yet. But I'll never work again, and havn't done for over 3
years, so pennies count!
However, for one with an unelectronicalprogrammablecybernet ear, the
Amiga news seems (for now), most promising.

Unlike the rest of you, I don't live in hope - I just hope to continue
to live.

'luck to All,

Regards,

Tom.
