   DAVE COBLE and ALL will demonstrate tag-team An Oldie.  Everyone take notes.   
      
    DC> What kind of an Amiga owner are you?   
    DC> ====================================   
      
   This looks like the "Take C" quiz from the /John/-/Boy/ /and/ /Billy/ /Show/.   
      
   You won't like some of my answers, though.   
      
    DC>  1. Who's really responsible the Amiga's "death" ?   
      
    DC>     d) Irv the Ghoul & Mehdi Ali   
      
   Who else?   
      
    DC>  2. A good clone is:   
      
    DC>     b) the same system running OS/2 2.2 instead of Windows.   
      
   At least it /looks/ right...   
      
    DC>  3. If someone were to give me a clone for free, I would:   
      
    DC>     b) thank him/her, then dedicate the clone to playing Doom every so   
    DC>        often.   
      
   S'truth!   
      
    DC>     d) open the machine quickly and salvage all the neat toys for my   
    DC>        Amiga.   
      
   /What/ neat toys?  We're talking about a clone...   
      
    DC>  4. Your friend came over to your house and found a nondescript   
    DC> computer on the floor next to the door.  You told him that it is:   
      
    DC>     b) a clone.  I am getting it fixed soon so I can get on with my   
    DC>        life.   
      
   Yeah.../what/ life?   
      
    DC>     d) a clone.  Dutifully serving its current function as a high-tech   
    DC>        doorjam ever since you bought your Amiga.   
      
   Why would I have a clone?   
      
    DC>  5. So you've bought a new game that cost you a good bit of lunch money   
    DC>     but the copy protection scheme won't let it run on your   
    DC>     (pick your own scenario) your reaction, as an Amiga owner, is:   
      
    DC>     a) so ... what else is new?   
      
    DC>     d) recommend the clone version of the product to your clone-owning   
    DC>        friends.   
      
    DC>  6. Now that Commodore US went "poof", my Amiga:   
      
    DC>     d) is humming along just fine, thank you for asking ... been that   
    DC>        way for years.   
      
    DC>  7. Amidst rumors of the Samsung purchase of Amiga technologies, I:   
    DC>     c) remember buying something incredibly cost-effective from them a   
    DC>        long time ago ... and wouldn't you know it ... it's still   
    DC>        working today!   
      
    DC>     d) am looking forward to possible licensing of Amiga technologies   
               (et cetera, et cetera..)   
      
    DC>  8. When I see a clone user engaging in such an unsavory act of ...   
    DC>     piracy, I: (Whatcha thinking?  This is a PG13 echo, eh!)   
      
    DC>     c) Let them suffer.  It's a freaking clone!   
      
    DC>  9. From the day I bought my Amiga, my life has been:   
      
    DC>     d) what life?  I have no life.  It's just me and the Amiga.    
    DC>           
      
    DC> 10. Who "looks like a professor gone terribly wrong" ?   
    DC>     a) why, me, of course!   
      
   If I wore glasses. (snerk!)   
      
    DC>     b) Joyce Divina   
    DC>     c) Skal Lorett   
    DC>     d) Eric V. Petersen   
      
   All of the above.  I've actually /met/ Joyce.   
      
    DC> and lastly,   
      
    DC> Zeemah:   
    DC>     a) is a unique alcoholic windshield washing fluid.   
    DC>     b) is a perfect substitute if you happen to need battery acid on a   
    DC>        dirt road ... away from all known civilizations.   
    DC>     c) produces a bunch of annoying commercials.   
    DC>     d) zucks.   
      
   All of the above.  It certainly wasn't meant to be /consumed/.   
      
   And it's spelled "Zima."
