-
- I can't believe freaking Commodore. Like, um. You know?!?
-
- The new A4000 is DOOMED TO FAILURE. Nobody will BUY it. Everybody
- will HATE it. I have special INSIDER INFORMATION which was obtained by
- TAPPING the e-mail connections between Commodore US and Commodore Antarctica,
- unscrambling it, RE-SCRAMBLING it, and printing it BACKWARDS onto gigantic
- LASAGNA NOODLES using an ancient IBM TELETYPE.
-
- All of the following opinions are FACTS. And the following FACTS
- are even MORE FACTUAL than the opinions. In fact, the FACTS behind the
- following FACTS are 100% more FACTUAL than the FACTS whose FACTS used my FAX
- machine to FAX FACTS FACTUALLY to people named MELVIN. But I digress.
-
- Listen, doodz, I KNOW what I am talking about here. I know for a
- FACT that every engineer at Commodore has personally signed a LEGAL
- AGREEMENT agreeing to post only FALSE LIES and BOGUS FALLACIES about the
- A4000. Only *I* know the TRUE FACTS. And here they are:
-
- (1) The A4000 does NOT support 256 colors!
-
- The TRUTH is that it supports only ONE color -- RED.
- However, because of a bunch of STUPID HACKS and WORTHLESS
- EFFORT that WASTED zillions of development dollars that could
- have paid for several DOZEN SCSI-II interfaces, the A4000
- implements 256 DIFFERENT SHADES OF RED. In fact, this is
- how the "AA" chipset got its name. When the head of CBM
- engineering found out this terrible secret, he said,
- "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" Little did he
- know that his scream would open the doors to a whole
- generation of chips.
-
- (2) The A4000 DOES come with a DSP!
-
- Commodore is LYING to you about this!! Take a look on
- the back panel of the A4000, and you will SEE that I
- am telling the TRUE FACTS! Right there, in black and
- white, are the words "Digital Serial Port". SEE?
- I told you!!!!
-
- (3) You CAN upgrade your A500 to use the AGA chipset!
-
- I mean, come ON you DWEEBS! Did you REALLY BELIEVE that
- Commodore mamby-pamby TRIPE? Open your DAMN A500 yourself,
- grab a crowbar, RIP out those OBSOLETE chips, get an AGA
- chipset and a hammer, SMASH those BASTARDS into the empty
- pin sockets, throw the remains back into the A500 case, and
- PLUG IT IN.
-
- See, it's TRIVIAL, like I told you. And it's even EASIER
- for the A2000 and A3000 series machines because the crowbar
- FITS better.
-
- (4) Commodore has NO MARKETING PLAN for the next 5 years!
-
- That whole awe-inspiring speech at the World Of Commodore
- show was a load of HORSE BOOGERS. The "VP" who gave the talk
- was really an out-of-work ACTOR hired to make all you wankers
- SALIVATE all over your CHEAP SNEAKERS. I can't believe you
- fell for it. I mean, who the heck ever heard of "Louis
- Egg-Breath" or whatever his name was ANYWAY? It's OBVIOUSLY
- just a PLOY to make everyone run out and buy A4000's.
-
- (5) The A4000 was NOT designed by Commodore!
-
- Yes, it's true. The A4000 was actually designed, not by
- Dave Haynie and Company, but by the original cast of "The
- Beverly Hillbillies." Meanwhile, the REAL Commodore
- engineers wasted away their time chasing NUBILE members of
- their preferred sex on some remote tropical island, eating
- chocolate-covered fruit, and LAUGHING behind our backs.
-
- I CHALLENGE any of those lazy wretches to dispute these TRUE
- FACTS that I discovered through INTENSE, SCHOLARLY RESEARCH
- of my "Baby Huey" comic book collection.
-
- HAHAHAHA!!! Now, FINALLY, the TRUE FACTS have emerged! Commodore is
- DOOOOOMMMED! Tune in next week when I will report on the TRUE FACTS
- recently discovered about George Bush, Tina Turner, and 50 dozen heads
- of cabbage. BEWARE!!
