You are wrong. the Amiga has both a mouse and a window
environment. It works pretty good with Chip Oranges program. Also,
Windows is a "window," environment and OS/2 is one of these type.
Screen Reader from IBM works with OS/2, not available at this time, but
soon, and its power is truely amazing. Please lets not have a brand
war--to each their own. Anybody know if the Atari 520's have a voice
program, or have any of you tried the speech programs on the Atari with
the IBM bridge boards, or for that matter anybody tried one on the Amiga
with the bridge board? It should prove interesting to see if using an
Amiga, and a bridge board, if you could pipe the voice output to the
voice chips in the amiga, thusly making the machine a single unit
running IBM software (80xxx software), but still making 68xxx programs
available as well.

I wasn't trying to start a brand war of any type. I was only saying that
the guys who wrote the software for the mac did better with a windows and
mouse type environment than the guys on the IBM. That is to be expected since
the IBM is still more of a text based machine. I think it would be great if
there was some speech software that we could use with windows 3.0
To your knowledge, Is there any speech software available on the amiga?
Everyone is entitled to my opinion
