Hey - at LEAST the clueless dimwit had actually HEARD of the Archimedes. 
That's a step in the right direction. :-)



It's better than when I visited PC World in Guildford back in 2001 for a 
harddisc for my RiscPC to have this pimple-faced loser try to sell me an 
EISA expansion card for my Amiga...

...it gets worse. Little jumped up pr*ck then starts getting 
condescending as I'm not bowing to his superior knowledge, so finally he 
conceeds that if I wish to use a non-regular setup, I can plug the 
harddisc into the soundblaster card on my Atari and use it that way. Maybe.



What can you say?



Best wishes,

Rick.
