Speaking of rumors… I have this from an informant (my wife) who reminds me (of Emma Thompson) that three seemingly disparate facts may not be so unrelated: a) The Amiga's incredible record for anonymity b) The never-ending "sale" of Commodore assets c) Former Sect'y of Defense Al Haig on the C= Board of Dirs Further, I have reports of our CIA operatives in France (now being expelled) who were involved in a covert effort to remove the SCALA system now being used by the French Parliament.

>Further, I have reports of our CIA operatives in France (now being >expelled) >who were involved in a covert effort to remove the SCALA system now being >used by the French Parliament. More a trustful rumour than any other about C= 😉 If anyone's out there from the CIA, I'm ok to investigate my country's official buildings for Amiga presence :*) Fred.

You left out the fact that there are two CIA chips in every Amiga. The key question is, did the original designers of the Amiga communicate via the Internet? It has been claimed that the American government scan all messages on the Internet for keywords that sound subversive. If that is the case then the references to "CIA" must have set alarm bells ringing. Somewhere in a government archive of intercepted messages there could be the complete design of the Amiga, so we just have to wait for the messages to be de-classified. Then everyone can ignore the continuing buyout negotiations (just another two weeks…) and start producing the things again. Peter Wade Autopiloting from London, England

>> You left out the fact that there are two CIA chips in every Amiga. ROFL! As to the Internet: I even read (in Germany) those days a headline to the effect that a "computer hacker broke into the Internet, which had been said to be save until then". Oh boy… Joachim Sondermann-Bieker on Amiga AutoPilot 1.77 from Cologne, Germany

"It has been claimed that the American government scan all messages on the Internet for keywords that sound subversive. If that is the case then the references to "CIA" must have set alarm bells ringing." So would every instance of the name "Marcia", as in "MARCIA, MARCIA, MARCIA!!!" <G> -Chris

Michael, >Wasn't he just kicked out the country??? Indeed, I believe he was wrongly accused of chauffering OJ to Medhi Ali's flat near the Eiffel Tower. ;-} Regards, John Chang

Wasn't he also from CIA? 😉 Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk

Frederic, >Wasn't he also from CIA? 😉 Indeed, he worked for Ali, the CIA, FBI and Interpol at one point. A very talented and well connected person. Of course he would have thrown it all away just to play the horn at La Rouge in Paris. ;-} Regards, John Chang
