I've heard that Rush Limbaugh is one of the persons interested in acquiring the Amiga. Supposedly he has one with a Video Toaster at home. He is reported to be keenly interested in restarting the production of the machine, with continuing devlopment of advanced models. Reportedly there will be only one noticable change to the machine made immediately…. The new production models will not have a left Amiga key. Rush feels that nothing good has ever come from the left, so a left Amiga key is redundant and un-necessary. This cost, and space savings will allow Rush to produce Amigas with an enlarged right Amiga key, wich will take over all the functions of the function keys. According to Rush the new motto is "When it's Right, it's right." Merry Christmas to all…. – Alex… Celebrating 10 years on Compuserve

Sorry, Alex, but nothing about this saga has been "Rushed" 🙂 Mike Brennan, Sir Render SYSTEM FAILURE: could not execute command " RESUME PRODUCTION" could not find file "NEW OWNER"

Cute. He _does_ have a Toaster, though — I've seen many of the transitions (including Kiki waving the wand) on his TV show.

The TV show uses the Toaster … Rush's personal computers are all Macs.

>> The TV show uses the Toaster … Rush's personal computers are all >> Macs. Oh, I know he doesn't use the Toaster himself. His crew seems to like it, though. And I figured he used a Mac from the way his reply to FAIR was available in ASCII and Mac MS Word format only. I got the ASCII version and ignored all the little rectangles at the ends of the lines. 😉

Perhaps Steve should offer to re-format his document in Amiga-friendly format, given the apparent popularity of the downloads on Compuserve! It got so busy, CIS gave him his own 'go rushdl' forum, they said last night! I hadn't seen Rush's TV show in a while. As a heavily taxed yet productive self-employed person, I was astounded to hear such "radical" notions on ordinary television. I was cheering his rant until he said something about wanting to close down immigration.

>> It got so busy, CIS gave him his own 'go rushdl' forum, they said last >> night! Oh, you mean on the TV show last night? (I usually don't bother with the reruns.) Yeah, they did — I tried to get it from the Issues forum but kept getting blocked out because the forum was always at capacity. >> I was cheering his rant until he said something about wanting to close >> down immigration. I don't remember his saying anything of that nature. He has described others' ideas, though, and has expressed negative opinions about some (such as a general halting of legal immigration). – Jim, on AP!

You are right. He did not say anything about wanting to close down immigration. What he did was comment on how people in the media severely criticize those who wish to crack down on ILLEGAL immigration. Rush get's many bad raps froms misquotes like that. ._ _ _ INTERNET: mshea@math.arizona.edu | | |ichael _>hea COMPUSERVE: 76665,3360
