I pledge allegiance to the founder of the United States of Amiga.  One computer, under Commodore, with liberty and justice for all.

Mate, Commodore? Really? They may have saved it initially but they weren't exactly the platforms best friend in the final analysis.

And yet he died only 2 months after Commodore...

I don't want to start an argument, but that is bad taste (about 5/10 on the Jobs opinion of M$ scale).

Have beer or a coke for Uncle Jay.

May my (monetary) investment in the Amiga bring many long lasting returns.

We'd probably have a sports version for people that don't even need them. Think "heart v1" from Syndicate :D

Trust me...you don't want one unless you need one.  I've had one for 5 years and its a battery change I'm not looking forward to!
