Well, he wrote "units", not " Amigas". But yes, I noticed other computers have been produced since 1994. So I guess it's more like "nobody has sung 'Love Me Tender' better since Elvis's death"?
That analogy fails on multiple grounds.
1. You're suggesting it's the same product, so rather than "Love Me Tender" it's any song.
2. The vampire analogy is about units sold, not whether they are better. I know I mentioned better, but you're correcting my analogy.
3. Referring to love me tender suggests you're talking about one product, it would be more correct to include all songs.
4. In the vampire analogy it's specifically including the time after commodore died.
Elvis supposedly still sells 10 million records a year. It would be like saying that if you sell more then you are automatically a better singer, even if it's one of those terrible charity records.
Right. I requested to be on the pre-order list early on. We'll see.
Gideon hasn't always paid much attention to that, I managed to get a 1541u2 when they first came out and I was on the bottom of the list and others higher up the list missed out. I noticed the web site was down for maintenance and by the next day then not only had it moved but there was news that a small batch of boards were being shipped next month and the pre-order list was full.
It might be that these aren't what you'd consider the first batch. Gideon however is referring to the rest of the first 500 boards as being the second batch & I think it's more likely that you'll be getting one of those.
