-
- All of you comp.sys.amiga.AIRHEAD readers don't know what you
- are TALKING ABOUT. It is TOTALLY OBVIOUS to me that NONE of you has
- *EVER* USED A COMPUTER.
-
- You can just BAG those '486 slowpokes. TOSS OUT those boring
- Macinsloths. And feed your WIMPY NEXTS to RABID ARMADILLOS!! If you want
- to experience the ULTIMATE in personal computer GRAPHICS, personal computer
- SPEED, and personal computer HYGIENE, then there is ONLY ONE CHOICE.
- Count it: ONE (1). Can you count that high? I knew you could.
-
- [Yes, you knew it was coming, didn't you...]
-
- Announcing...
-
- B L A Z E - P C
-
- THE MOST SPLENDIFERAMAZINGTASTIC PERSONAL COMPUTER EVER CREATED!!!!!!
- (From BLAZEMONGER, INC: makers of fine games for psychopathic individuals.)
-
- Anyway, you ask, "How fast is Blaze-PC?" That's a very reasonable
- thing to ask, so we'll tell you.
-
- [Long-time BLAZEMONGER fans can skip the next paragraph.]
-
- FIRST OF ALL, buddy, it's BLAZE-PC IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS!!!
- If you don't SCREAM when you WRITE IT, your COMPUTATIONS BITE IT!! (TM)
-
- So, is it FAST?? HAH!!!! Words haven't been INVENTED YET to
- describe the BLAZING, RAW PROCESSING POWER of BLAZE-PC. To combat this
- problem, we are now contacting WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY to add a new word that
- DOES describe it!! This word will be the FASTEST word EVER CREATED!! It's
- so fast that every time you try to look it up, it JUMPS to another page!!
- This word is IMPOSSIBLE to read! So you'll just have to take our word for
- it.
-
- How about graphics and audio? GET REAL!!! Other WIMPY PC's have
- 24-bit graphics and stereo 16-bit sound. NOT BLAZE-PC!!! BLAZE-PC has
- 24-MEGABIT graphics (yes, 24,000,000 bits per pixel) and 16-CHANNEL sound
- arranged as 4 independent QUADRAPHONIC systems -- one system at ear level,
- one above you, one below you, and one in the FOURTH DIMENSION!!
-
- In addition, BLAZE-PC supports VGA, EGA, XVGA, IGA grocery stores,
- and even new *UGA* ("Universal Graphics Acronym") for the ULTIMATE in
- COMPATIBILITY! And yes, it emulates the Amiga CUSTOM CHIPS, plus all
- available 3rd party, 4TH PARTY, and 117TH PARTY graphics boards at SIXTEEN
- MILLION HILLION JILLION TIMES THE SPEED!!! It even emulates the HEADLIGHTS
- on your ancient '73 FORD MUSTANG!!! Yes, ANYTHING involving LIGHT or COLOR
- pales in comparison to the AWESOME, SPINE-TINGLING GRAPHICS of BLAZE-PC.
-
- But what about software? BLAZE-PC has the BEST software in the
- KNOWN UNIVERSE. In fact, EVERY major and minor software manufacturer has
- agreed to port their applications to BLAZE-PC, so there's total freedom of
- choice and no compatibility issues! How did we do it? Simple -- we sent
- our "Customer Service Representatives" around to all the companies to...
- uh... "convince" them to port their programs. Our Reps are EXPERTS. No
- company has EVER turned them down and remained in business. The last company
- that refused to port its software had a mysterious EXPLOSION occur at its
- disk-copying facility. A few days later, several employees got their TONGUES
- caught in the disk drives. Within a week, the company was gone. Of course,
- we don't know WHY this all happened. But it is never a good idea to piss
- off our Customer Service Department.
-
- And if you can't afford to buy commercial software, check out
- BLAZE-PD, the ULTIMATE freely-distributable application!! It is a
- combination paint program, structured graphics program, word processor,
- spreadsheet, database, MIDI sequencer, sound sampler, and ARCADE GAME (guess
- which one) all in one integrated package, communicating through a new
- interprocess-communication language called A-WRECKS. A-WRECKS has the
- AMAZING feature of being able to talk to ALL YOUR PROGRAMS at once!! How
- does A-WRECKS do it? Simple -- by YELLING AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE!!! Any rude
- application that refuses to listen is automatically BLOWN INTO A MILLIONS
- PIECES by A-WRECKS's special "Cleanup" command.
-
- "So," you ask, "how much does Blaze-PC cos... no, wait! Put that
- sledgehammer down!! I mean, how much does *BLAZE-PC* cost?" Now THAT is a
- fine and well-stated question (luckily for you). The answer is: CHEAP!!
- Yes, you can buy a BLAZE-PC for less money that you'd expect to pay for a
- BALL POINT PEN!! They're SO INEXPENSIVE that if we paid you to buy one,
- you'd be a MILLIONAIRE in TEN SECONDS!! NOBODY beats our prices.
-
- Of course, that price doesn't include some of the available OPTIONS,
- such as a CPU and memory. Those are "extra." (Heh heh.) But don't
- worry... if you need them but can't afford them, just call our "Customer
- Service" Department.
-
- So... aren't you glad that all of these c.s.a.advocacy arguments are
- now POINTLESS? There is NO other computer worth owning except the BLAZE-PC.
- It does EVERYTHING. Take one home, flip the switch, and INSTANTLY all of
- your home financial calculations are complete!! You don't even have to PLUG
- IT IN!! And when you read your final bank balance, notice that it is
- ZERO, and discover that all of your money has been mysteriously channeled
- to a Swiss bank account owned by an anonymous software company, you will
- KNOW the INCREDIBLE POWER of BLAZE-PC.
-
- In fact, this POWER is echoed in our new slogan:
-
- BLAZE-PC: Buy it or die.
-
- (Are you listening, Commodore Marketing? No, I suppose not... you're
- probably out buying blindfolds.)
