Suspenders being the suspension!  It was good.  Shame you could never force 
the computer off the track!

I understand there's an Amiga Emulator for the PC.  I wander how good it 
really is.

I'm saving for something else right now, so the PC will have to be targetted 
late next year some time.

I was hoping they'd bring out something a little new.  The prices were 
astoundingly high.  4K for a repackaged 4000, which had less features than a 
same priced PC.  As the once great 'P'inch used to say, Shame! Shame! Shame!

Settlers was amazing.  All those dudes doing dudey things, without ever 
slowing down like Sim City.

That used to happen with Sim.  All you could see were traffic queues and 
buildings popping up!
