- Oooh... oh great and powerful Swami, bestow upon us your eternal
- wisdom so we may achieve inner elightenment and realize what mere worms we
- are in your presence. Our eyes look up, but we see not. Our ears stick
- out, but we hear not. Our tongues hang down, but we taste not. And yet, in
- the name of the Holy Cumquat of SEEDY RAHM, God of Unexploited Multimedia
- Opportunities, we praise thy name and ask for your humble forgiveness and
- back-issues of National Geographic featuring remote tribes who build statues
- of you and make hourly sacrifices to your omniscient omnipresence. Fear
- not, simple people, for the true savior of Planet Earth, and maybe even
- Iowa, walks among us and graces our unworthy souls with the true wisdom of
- experience and strong hallucinogenics. Bow, mortal, and lick the
- all-knowning toenails of his Extreme Regressiveness, lest ye be damned to
- eternal torture and forced to read all of his postings all over again, in
- triplicate. So join me in everlasting prayer to the master of marketing,
- the genius of ingenuousness, the most holy of hypocrites, THE ALL-FATHER OF
- AMIGA FATE:
-
- "Our father, who art in Iowa,
- Hollow be thy head,
- Thy ideas run,
- Thy will be done,
- At Commodore as it is at Apple.
- Give us this day our daily stupid postings
- And lead us not into forbidden pastry shops
- Where we may discover cheese-filled tibits of dubious origin.
- Amen."

- >Hopefully the oppinions of an ex-Amiga-developer will allow Commodore to see
- >what needs to be done.

- Gee, gang... Marc used to be a developer! One who never produced any
- products, to my knowledge. And he made a lot of, uh, "friends" at Commodore
- too, from what I have heard.
