- OH F*CK!! IS THIS TRUE?! Things like THAT win an A4000, and I can't even
- take part in the contest! Mind-blowing! I feel like smashing my innocent
- little Amiga, but there's just too much of me in it. Maybe I'll just go and
- find a dealer and smash a few A600s... I'll get time to cool off too, trying
- to find one...
- And I haven't even SEEN an A4000 yet!
- Please, anyone at C= Marketing. Do you read these at all? DO SOMETHING about
- this situation. The word from C= reprentation in Finland:
- "No, we won't get A1200 to the Christmas market, wouldn't want to confuse
- buyers with two new models", where the another 'new' model is A600, and we
- all know how long THAT has been in European market...
