I couldn't agree more.
Too often, I tell people, "I own an Amiga." The response is usually, "Do
they still make those?" I cannot fault their ignorance. The last Amiga
commercial I saw was around 1986. It was a flying saucer, genlocked over
some stock footage. If they just advertised once in a while, especially on
shows like SeaQuest, and Babylon 5, where the Amiga plays a role, sales
would skyrocket.

I've given up telling people I own one. I just show them my work. The
funniest thing is people stopping by, seeing my computer, and remarking,
"Oh, you have a Toaster!". I have to tell them that believe it or not, the
Amiga can do some things without being a Toaster.
With all the defense I've given to the Amiga cause (and all the abuse I've
taken), I'm a little run down, and disappointed with the whole Commodore
mess. But, being the experimenter I am, as soon as I have the dough, I'm
getting a PowerPC Mac.
