:-) on this note...last night i noted that i could get Hutchinson
Encylopedia on my Digital Cable box...so i tried it out. first search was
for 'eeyore' - no result. second search was for 'Amiga' - one result!
i thought 'hmmmm' and then read it. quite a nice little 2 page document
up on my TV about the Amiga...and quite accurate too! way hay!
anyone else with NTL/C&W digital cable with interactive service should have
a little read tonight :-)

..seems that way :-(
there again, when the new AmigaDE comes out...with transparent CPU support
etc etc will people ever try to link it with the 'Amiga' of 1980/1990's? I
think it'll be the Amiga that people remember..and the ole Jay Miner range
of technology will become real history at that point
