    Up until now I have had it with hearing people bash other for
stupid reasons. We have lots of people flaming Marc Barrett, claiming
that he is a doomsayer and is a self-proclaimed insider. I have been
sick of reading posts negatively aimed at him for the longest time. But
of course recently I have become a convert, so keep on! :)

    Now for the business at hand. Jeff Young. Why do we question his
abilities so much? It his obvious that he has a steady stream of input
and knowledge regarding the computer industry. he is accurate, he knows
details about the Amiga and Atari computer lines, and he consistently
defends his views. So I propose that we call a truce and end this childish
flame war against his writing skills. Below is a sample transcript of two
conversations written by Jeff Young, followed by my professional analysis
using Proper Grammar v1.0.



----BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT----


Big NEWSFLASH over week said Commodore went into MELTDOWN and
is pushing back NEW Amiga intro many months!! C= MUST send new
letter to P. Robinson and say we are NOT BILLION dollor company
anymore!!

C64 sales fell into BLACKHOLE and now is about 2000 every month!
R&D cut 10% more so only A600 and A3000T/40 selling this year
and developers will not get vAApor chip Amigas until next 1993!!

People mailed and said W. Sydnes not fired and still at Commodre!

WHO knows real truth of Sydnes current affair??





Problem not with missing 68881 socket. Problem is A600 missing 68030 chip!

Sorry people mailed me and said Falcon 32 mhz DSP 20 TIMES faster
than A600 so now 1/2 price divided by 20 == $30 MAX!

Stores in England REFUSING to sell A600 because so many software
breaking.  When A600 starts selling here C= many people will
complain too.


TIME?! A600 cannot even keep time because CLOCK NOT INCLUDED!!
Only thing included with A600 is HIGHEST price tag of all game
machines.  No wonder England people refusing to buy A600!


You deep dodo! WHERE is direct slot on A600?



Point is only on you head! vAApor cards not selling so hot!!


C= MUST sell A600 FIRST and smart people not buying it.


News said $799 LIST PRICE so Falcons will be $700 and lower!!!!
