Hope you all feel better. > > -- FLAME ON**** Did the IBM PC have an abundance of software when it was introduced??? NO!!!! Did the MACINTOSH have an abundance of software when it first came out??? NOOO!!!! In fact, as I recall, the macintosh didn't have an abundance (relative) of sotware for a whole year. A couple of friends of mine had nothing but macpain (the drawing program) for a long time. So give the Amiga a break and wait a year. I am sure the software base will grow exponentially (so sure in fact, that I bought one) I was over at my local computer store the other day, and they say that the IBM PC'S and the MAC'S are the Amiga's best friend. They told me an amusing story about how this one lady came in to buy a MAC and happened to see the Amiga, with it's limited software base, running some graphics program. So what happened??? She bought the Amiga. Larry J. MacCaughey (No relation to the MacIntosh)

She bought the Amiga. > Now isn't this an intelligent little story... The next time I go into a stereo store to buy a video recorder and see an RCA video disk player, I think I will buy the RCA unit. After all, it has much less of a selection of movies to worry about...I won't have to trouble my mind over overwhelming shelves of discontinued disks much less worry about the inconvenience of recording movies. I guess my New Year's eve has been ruined knowing that there is some lady out there with $3000 worth of computer and all she can do is follow the bouncing ball.... Do yourself a favour...bouncing balls are for kids....buy a Mac!!! Send E-Mail bombs to: Jordan Kalpin Mechanical Engineering University of Toronto kalpin@utecfc.UUCP
