I have noticed how time has so diminished the Amiga name that most people
don't know of it let alone have a tarnished view. Two of the FreeServe
helpdesk people I spoke to had _never_ heard the term ... "Yes, but what IS
it, a PDA" (although one'd heard of the Archimedes). I was checking out
local IT courses, the woman I spoke to similarly had never heard the term.
In a quirky way this could be a benefit for new retail branding.
Oric, Jupiter Ace, Memotech, Enterprise .... Amiga. :-|
