- What's really amusing is reading the articles about this system in PClone
- mags. There's one out now (I can't recall the name, they're all so generic)
- that waxes eloquent about this Virtuality system for four solid pages of
- copy before it turns to the computer components. There we learn that there
- are 68030s in there... and Amigas are used as terminals. As far as I know,
- the makers of Virtuality don't go to any lengths to hide the fact that the
- whole thing is built on Amigas - but it's interesting to see the PClone folk
- avert their eyes.
