- BULL.

- I know dozens of people here in Australia who bought the Amiga specifically
- for the games AND DEMO scene. I know only one or two that have Amigas (a3000)
- who bought it mainly for other purposes - mainly graphics and ray-tracing.
- Even these people would be very unhappy if the games/demo scene died off.
