Rubbish.  Carter made mistakes, no more than the average president, and
IMHO far less damning in the long run than Reagan's.  His main failings
included a lack of Washington savvy, failure to cater to the press, and a
tendency to trample on some powerful special interest groups.  His attempts
to kill the B-1 bomber for 4 years straight were subverted by various
members of his staff, congress, and the pentagon.  So the B-1 was still
alive when Reagan was elected, which he supported (among other worthless
projects, resulting in untold billions of wasted taxpayers money).
Although Carter was elected partially because of a popular "mandate" for
change, that mandate was not strong enough to support him in the face of
all the adversity he faced.  I feel that the "failure" of Carter's
presidency is more a condemnation of the system than of the man. 

BTW I lived outside Washington at the time, read the Post nearly every day.
It was an educational experience, but I'm glad to be away from the stress
:-).

Would it be possible to implement Adobe's Display Postscript system
on the higher-end Amigas?  Has Commodore ever thought of doing this?

Also, I remember reading in Electronic Engineering Times a while ago
that Adobe had developed Adobe Type Manager on a chip.  Could this
be used in the Amiga?

Thanks in advance...

That's funny, since I do believe it was another AMIGA user bringing up
something like 142 megs of RAM on the AMIGA 3000! which was in reponse
to what a AMIGA 3000 has for a price quoted!  My point clarified!  And if
you read the above posting, I stated that it was in remark to another AMIGA

	If your Amiga friend really said that, I'll invite him over to see
my system. I have 1 150 meg hard drive with 30 megs devoted to compressed
music modules, and another 15 megs devoted to sound samples. I even wrote
a 1.7 megabyte music module (the anti-george_bush song), using digitized
samples of the god himself, although saying things he didn't actually say! :)

	Does that Soundblaster sample to 66Hz? The best Amiga card does. Mine
samples to 55Hz. Soundblaster is something like 22Hz, and the latest is only
44Hz.

All this mentioning about "Jack Tramiel this...", "Jack Tramiel that..."
ignores Atari's man behind the curtain: Sam Tramiel. Just a few of
Sam's accomplishments:

First described modern computer architecture in Popular Mechanics in 1923
Accurately predicted man's race to the moon would be guided by computer
back in Harpers in 1947.
Invented "Your door is a jar" warning sounds in 1957, fully 20 years
before Chrysler embraced this technology.
Discovered the principle of massively parallel computers in 1972, as
reported by Look magazine.
Won Olympic medals in both the winter and summer games in 1976 (winter
as a figure skater, summer as a welterweight fighter).
Played "curley" in the popular "Three Stooges" until Moe's untimely
death.
Invented "Falcon" in 1992.

     Well, if you count the 600, we've already seen one new machine

     Actually, I expect to see new Amigas in the first half of September
(namely, Sept. 11-13 at the Pasadena World of Commodore show).

     I doubt anyone I know will go to the Falcon, since I haven't heard

   I am not completely certain what is meant by "32-bit OS", but I know that
much of Intuition and the graphics.library are strictly limited to 8 bitplanes.
The equivilents to Intuition and graphics.library under MacOS, Windows, and

How does the OS decide how much actual RAM to use for process ? It keeps
statistics of memory usage and regularly fails to decide right since
the statistics won't predict the future.

Which is of course the case when you have to process images that won't fit
into memory. While VM does a good job for code pages it has problems with
large data areas. Large data areas (especially images) tend to be accessed
completely. Thus if such a set doesn't fit into main memory (that's why
ADPro users want VM) a regular VM scheme is not the optimal solution.
The optimal solution is to have the image processing program to use files
and double buffered I/O.

Sure, your UNIX workstation has lots of small programs which are mostly
inactive. Swapping these idle processes out is a good idea. On the other
hand noone would actually want to use virtual memory for say the X server
which is an application that constantly _needs_ a large part of its allocated
memory. Unfortunately X is a worst case for any memory management scheme
which means that you _need_ real memory. Most image processing tasks are
much better behaved and could be handled by a specialized VM system, or
they can be handled even better by including the needed disk I/O into
the program (i.e. it should use files).

One problem of course is that "clones" typically compete by providing
better price/performance points than the name brand.  That's be pretty
tough to do in this arena.  COM's low-end machines must be right at the
margin of profitability for COM.  A small clone maker would not get as
good a price break on components, so you couldn't compete there. You
might be able to put together a better high-end machine, but the question
is whether there is a market for that machine. Probably pretty small
judging by the number of '040 boards sold (as posted here, so take with
a grain of salt, no one company's sold more than 15K '040 boards, so say
a total of <50K??)

No, what drives the IBM market is DOS compatibilty.  Check out this week's
PC-Week.  They have a "shoot-out" between high-end laptops.  They had
corporate buyers try each machine over several hours and then rate all
the machines in several catagories.  In addition to all the DOS machines
they had an Apple PowerBook 170.  The 170 got the highest mark in all but
two catagories, where it scored 2nd.  Overall it got 7 out of 10, whereas
the next best was a 6 and everything else was a 5. Point?? All the judges
said that they prefered the PowerBook, but they couldn't buy it because
it wasn't DOS compatible.

Competition drives *price*, not acceptance.

the problems that are cropping up around him.  He was just unlucky enough
to be in the wrong place at the right time.

Hmm.  I don't believe that the processor slot would be the "right"

combo...
