In article <1401@winnie.fit.edu> you write: Granted I probably was wrong with C++ , but over the net I heard people did not like it. >I agree. Do it on the Amiga. I have several systems in my office: Mac IIcx >w/ 8Meg RAM, 80 Meg HD, 2-page display; Amiga 1000 w/ 4.5 Meg RAM, 40 Meg HD, >68020/68882 board; PC-compatible laptop; Sun SPARCStation 1 w/8 Meg RAM; plus >the machines I have at home. The Amiga is by far the most interesting - maybe >not the most powerful (SPARC is) but certainly the neatest. My article did not mean to address hardware only software, as you, I believe the amiga is a very very powerful machine, but the software seems to cummulate only in areas of graphics word processing Data Bases Spread Sheets languages Os Utilities Cad >, but you would have to write 950 stacks at least. >Agreed. Mac will always beat out Amiga because the amount of money in Mac >systems makes it a more attractive system for more people. You have to have >money to make money... This is **&^&^*$%^%$&$%^& (sorry) but on of the reasons why I brought the amiga was I was impressed with the public domain at the time (wow all those utilities) >So write some yourself.

THOSE are the guys that write well... but they only write >what interests them. You can be one of those too if you want to. Good point and I do agree with it, but I have been trying to write my software. However, I have a 3000 and the C compiler does not work too well when I get Dice I will be writing software and porting stuff from the mac. By the I have suggested that 1) A separate area be setup to discuss software people wanted 2) send me your ideas and if it is something I like , I try to produce So far none of these have been used
