    1. My Amiga is participating in the Amiga RC5-64 Team Effort since early September 1997, contributing all unused CPU power (about 99% on average) to the massively parallel computing effort to (legally) crack the RC5-64 cipher in response to RSA's own challenge. Towards this goal my Amiga searches well over 2 billion ( 29 ) keys a day!
    2. Something which sums up my feelings on Windoze 95 and most of the rest of Bill's horrid bloatware...
    3. My Amiga also provides the base-line for all RingLord Technologies' DTP operations using SoftLogik's PageStream, probably the most intuitive desktop publishing software system ever created for a consumer level platform.
``A student asked the master for help... does this program run from the Workbench? The master grabbed the mouse and pointed to an icon. ``What is this?'' he asked. The student replied ``That's the mouse''. The master pressed control-Amiga-Amiga and hit the student on the head with the Amiga ROM Kernel Manual.''
