- By now, everybody has heard of Commodore US's "4000 Reasons"
- contest. Everyone is invited to describe, in 25 words or less, why
- he/she/it owns an Amiga, and 1 lucky person will win a free A4000!
- (Personally, I don't see how anybody can list 4000 reasons in only 25 words,
- but I never was much of a math whiz.)
-
- Anyway, thanks to SECRET ESPIONAGE TACTICS, I have been able to tap
- into Commodore's private files and discover who's going to win! Thus,
- BLAZEMONGER INCORPOATED loudly presents:
-
- The Top Ten Entries In The
- "4000 Reasons" Contest!!
-
- In 25 words or less, MY REASON FOR OWNING AN AMIGA IS...
-
- (10) What's an "Omega?"
-
- (9) ...because it's great. I love it! It's really great! The best! I
- don't know a greater computer; the Amiga is totally, totally great!
- No, really!
-
- (8) ...multitasking! I need a computer that can do raytracing in the
- background. I don't *want* to run a raytracer, but my friends say
- it's required.
-
- (7) ...because the Atari Falcon is too expensive.
-
- (6) ...I am attempting singlehandedly to drive IBM and Apple out
- of business by spending my money elsewhere.
-
- (5) Packed with processors, Amiga really satisfies. It's not just for
- hacking anymore. It's the real thing. Amiga is it. The Computer
- for the Cremated Mind! (TM)
-
- (4) ...because Commodore is doomed. If they don't have at least a 23.7%
- increase in R&D, their rumored 32-bit graphics chipset will never be
- competitive with
- [this entry was cut off after 25 words]
-
- (3) ...so I can read comp.sys.amiga.advocacy and feel qualified to
- point out the logical flaws in other people's arguments.
- Politely, of course. Not!
-
- (2) ...it brings in the babes, man. Thousands of them, like, flocking
- to my monitor. I just type "sys:utilities/Display Girlz/#?" and,
- like, there they are. Ahhhhhh....
-
-
- And the number 1 reason is...!
-
- (1) ...because BLAZEMONGER runs on it, of COURSE! All those other
- PSEUDO-TRASH MACHINES cannot APPROACH the MIND-BLOWING GRAPHICS and
- EARDRUM-PIERCING SOUND BOLTS that EXPLODE from the Amiga, SHATTERING
- nearby CONCRETE WALLS and DESTROYING all DECIBEL WORLD RECORDS. And
- BLAZEMONGER CANNOT be restricted by any WIMPY 25-word limit, EITHER!
