There are people that will base their decisions on what they see or don't see on TV/News. Those people will not buy Amiga because they are "Nazi" machines/tools. Granted, not all people would do that. I wouldn't. I assume you wouldn't. Look at the number of people that buy clones or IBMs because they don't know enough about the Amiga and they want a computer NOW! My point isn't what I or you would do. It is what the majority of consumers in the U.S. will do based on ignorance. I don't mean that the U.S. population in general is ignorant, just uninformed about computers and programmed by the news media to react based on their reports. (I hope I am selling the population short!) But, I've been all over the country and all around the world, and American's (God bless us all), for the most part, have a very narrow view of the world, it's called TV. So if it's on the tube it must be true! I don't mean to step on toes, so if I have, I want to apologize ahead of time. For the record, I've been labeled as a "liberal" by a local bulletin board here in Oklahoma because I believe in letting everyone be responsible for their own lives. What we sew, so shall we reap! (cliche) I have to admit, that being in the military makes me a little bit more informed about the international community and the trend in Germany and the Ex-Soviet Bloc has me concerned. I know the German's well enough that if the government is not behind the "Nazi" movement, it will be slowed, but not stopped. It has lasted for over 60 years (probably longer.) What concerns me isn't what we see on the news, it's what they aren't showing. I was in Panama for a little known Exercise called (NIMROD Dancer) and saw the real situation there after Enadara and Ford were beaten by Noriega's PDF. The news media sensationalized that one, but they missed alot of the real story until after "Just Cause."
