Yes, I'm graduating at the end of this year and may not have access to the net anymore =8^( So, before I go I plan to have a mega-ftp binge and get the ultimate best of everything - archivers, games, editors, ray-tracers, external disk drive click stoppers, whatever! But, I don't know which ones to get! This is where YOU come in. This is your big chance to tell me (and/or the world) what you think are the most indispensible programs ever written for the amiga. If there's some program you just think everyone should have, then don't be shy drop me a line, if you know where it can found on ftp or fetchfile, then tell me that too. Oh, I've presently got an Amiga 500, A501, and external drive. But don't that limit your suggestions. If you think you should suggest something that requires umpteen megs of memory then still tell me, 'cos hopefully I'll have a nice fun job next year that pays heaps of money so I can buy that 3000 I've been dreaming about, with all the optional extras.

We've presently got a network of about 250 Apollos, and the Department's planning to get a whole bunch more in the near future, and it sounds like Commodore wants a bit of the action. My impressions? Looked very nice, X was a bit slow, but not to bad with the 8 megs. It fit into the ethernet fine, and some of us telneted into it from our Apollos. They wouldn't let you look at 2.0 though.
