In the last year there have been two instances where police tried to subdue
someone with pepper gas and it had no effect.

If a woman shoots a man in an isolated area at night, before he rapes her,
what does she use for a defense in court if his corpse is unarmed?

Twenty years for manslaughter could be as bad as getting raped.

Motorola has been selling computers for years.  When the 88k came out they
were selling UNIX workstations built around the 88k that had built in MSDOS
emulation.  When the 68k first came out, they sold VersaBUS based systems
and later VME based systems.

There are millions of Motorola based VME systems from dozens of manufacturers
that are used in the process control world.  If you have ever thought of some
particular add on card that you wanted more than anything else in the world,
someone has invented it for VME bus.

Motorola also sells development systems for all their microprocessors.

You will be able to use the new Double PAL mode, i. e. no interlace in 640x512
+ overscan.  You also will be able to use 800x600 interlaced.  BUT you will
not be able to show regular lores pictures, which means no games will work!

If you want a better monitor, either bue Commodores 1960, get a used NEC that
sync to 15.XX kHz vertically or keep your 1084 until there is comes a new
monitor that supports low vertical scanrate.

No, the ad both have to get your attention *and* keep it and have it 
directed towards the product. There must be a connection between the 
product and the picture. If you have a nude in an ad you will probably 
get a lot of attention but very few will read on and then go out and

Subject: Commodore, here's a clue
Date: 12 Nov 92 22:07:29 GMT
Organization: Virginia Tech Computer Science Dept, Blacksburg, VA
X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4

Why doesn't Commodore release an Amiga 3500? 

Basically, my idea of it is it having the new AGA chip set along with all of
the custom chips in the 3000 excluding Agnus & Denise and without a built in
C.P.U.

There are several reasons for my view of this:

1) If the whole bus is gonna be 32-bit, why not make the hard drive device
   32-bits also? (i.e., SCSI) Why not? I sure as heck don't want to buy a computer then have to buy a SCSI board PLUS the amount of data the Hard drive can 
transfer will be twice as much. (I'd like to quote Tim Taylor {Home Improvement}  "We want a man's machine. We want more power! {grunt})

2) How about putting Amber in an AGA machine? Sure we can create non-interlaced
   screens, but that means I can't use the ones that are interlaced. I shouldn't
   be limited to certain screens because others have a flicker. If I got these
extra modes, I want to be able to use them, not watch an annoying flicker!

3) Take what chip the C.P.U. is off the front panel. When i'm still using my
   machine 5 years from now, it'll more than likely have a more advanced
   C.P.U., and not the 040, 030, or whatever. C'mon guys, you can't make 
   anything like that permanent. I'll give Commodore a pont for thinking of
   putting the C.P.U. the way they have it. I like that idea.

These comments, criticsms, & complaints are of my own view. 
I encourage comments and reaction, and would like to see some, especially from
Commodore (Oh boy!). However, there's no reason to get nasty about it, though.

Also, (for Commodore) how about releasing UNIX for the new machines so I can 
use it here at Virginia Tech?

The A3000 replacement is the A4000/030... see my other article.
(basically an A4000 with a 68030 instead of a '040)

Actually, you'd be much better off with a multisync. VGA-specific monitors
are becoming less prevalent as multiscanning monitors become more 
cost-effective and offer greater performance. VGA monitors are typically
quite restricted in terms of quality and resolution, whereas multisyncs
offer you the option of upgrading your video hardware in the future.

[...]   

I saw those ads and I think they used the words "new" and "change" several
times indicating that they want to take advanatage of the election of Bill
Clinton.  The ads I saw were before the election but Clinton was well ahead
in the polls.  I think with this big societal change, marketers see a big
chance in establishing new products as standards.  People are going to be
looking at new products as viable alternatives to the old standards as this
new younger power-stucture in America develops.  I think we will see many
new brand-names become household words in the next couple of years.  People
simply want change and will identify older brand-names with the old 
over-thrown (sp?) authorities and power-stucture.  IMHO, C= should dump
a lot of money into trying to identify itself and Amiga with this new
and younger power-structure. ...sort of identify Amiga with younger more
energetic people.  I know they are primarily interested in the game/home
market but multimedia certainly has future markets in business and 
education.

Now something must be wrong (perhaps me): It was told me all the time
that the floppy controller chip used standardly in a PC does not allow
this. Hmm, I *can* imagine programming such a chip track-wise and then
let another programm step in to write a track to a different drive.
Is it so? That could also explain the reported slowness. If so, I have
to apologize and stand corrected.

A harddisk is trivial. It always has its own controller. :-)
