It's an unfortunate fact of life in our society. However, we WANT to play with our computers. I think this person's point is that he only uses IBMs because he HAS to (i.e.--he has to eat, ya know?) We use Amigas because we WANT to. If the company this person worked for had any brains, they would buy Amigas and make everyone happy. Of course, productivity would go way down because of all the wonderful games distracting everyone from their work! :-) >> >>Dac >> > -- > +-------------------+----------------------+---------------------------------+ > | JERRY J.
