Steven, Sorry the April Fools article upset you. I thought Randy Thompson's closing made it sufficiently clear that this was an April Fools joke.. Perhaps I should have edited it and clearly put the words "April Fools" at the end of the article. Reading the descriptions of the computers, et. al., in the article, though, I sincerely doubt anyone who stopped to think about it would really think it was true. It was very tounge-in-cheek. Not to mention it would have been mentioned elsewhere in the magazine than just Taking Sides… I can't see anyone truly allowing that humor column to change their mind about buying an Amiga. Most of the feedback I've gotten on that article has been positive–most folks, even some Commodore folks who've called me, thought it was funny. Anyway, it wasn't meant to frighten or upset anyone, and for that I'm truly sorry.
