Hi Shelley,
This Olympus user is more extreme than most on the home
computer front. I have been using an Amiga as my home
computer since March, 1986. Although the Amiga situation
has been in limbo corporate-wise for some time, the assets
and intellectual property were acquired by Gateway last
March, 1997. Gateway and its latest subsidiary, Amiga
international, has very recently revealed a hint of a grand
plan to restore the Amiga to its previous home computer
leadership by 1999 or thereabouts.
Users deserve an alternate choice to the Wintel duopoly.
