Sorry, I like to needle Amiga users. One of my closest friends is, what can
only be described as, a complete Amiga zealot. Most of the time it is pretty
fun to get him going, I hope you know it is all good natured fun. 

I built my first robot using an RCA 1802 back in the late '70s. I still think
the P.C. was the worst computer design. Going from any platform to the
8080~8088 was such a let down. If someone had ported CP/M to the RCA 1802 back
in the '70s, computers may have been different today.
