 For those tuning in: This message is a summary of the drivel perpetuated 
by an individual whose name exists in more kill files tan ever before as 
a result of this thread. I'll not use that name in hopes of reaching as
many of you as possible.

 To summarize: (Life according to said dweeb.)

 The A500, A2000, A2500, A3000, and A4000 are sh*t.

 The A500 is a redundant hack.
 The A2000 is a low-powered, 16-bit backplane hack of previous hack.
 The A2500 is a consession to speed built on the previous hack.
 The A3000 is a hack unto itself.
 The A4000 is a marketing ploy, hacked to make all previous machines
           obsolete, solely to drum up more revenue.

 The 1985 C= Amiga 1000 is the perfect machine.

 [Ed: This should start to sound a bit satirical, but we all know who I
     am paraphrasing, zo.....]

 Now the real sniveling.

 Said dweeb believes that software (The stuff we get off of firmware, to
run on hardware. You know... Lemmmings.) is not to be given the same
amount of trust as hardware. I would like to add the following 
commentary to this malapropism:

 HARDWARE is SOFTWARE for this purpose. [Save for the fact that I can
upgrade me software instead of flicking a switch back and forth to handle
all sorts of odd sh*t]

 The A4000 (according to the author of this bible of computing) is 
default configured to run at 15.75Hz, and if you have a VGA monitor
you're scrod.

 BULL Alert! BULL Alert! Beware of large amounts of slightly aromatic
excrement in posts from this person WRT this...

 a) Said Dweeb has NEVER SEEN an A4000.
 b) .................... BEEN in the same area code as one either.
 c) .................... SEEN anything in writing to justify this.
 d) .................... HEARD anything from C=   ................
 e) Said Dweeb will probably never own another computer in his pitiful
   existence because they don't match up to his A1000.

 In reply to this I offer the following solutions:

 a) ASK C=. They will probably give a straight answer, THEN post your
   findings, As*hole.

 b) If it turns out you guessed right, when you BUY an A4000, have it
   configured at the dealer who SHOULD have at least ONE 1084 monitor.

 c) Or, borrow a friends nintendo monitor.

 d) Or, DON't BUY one.

 Now what *I* am pleading for is the following:

 a) A C= Engineer to refute this thread.
 b) Said Dweeb to graduate.
 c) My free A4000. :)

Ah! Finally got that hangnail.....
