Just wanted to take a short time-out to thank ALL the people at Commodore for
the wonderful things they have been doing.  The introduction of the high-end
68020 based A2500, the excellent 1.3 AmigaDOS complete with a nice manual,
the continued commitment to compatibility (We A1000 owners salute you!), the
lack of vapor-ware, the promise of a new ad campaign on the horizon, etc.
After scanning through comp.sys.atari.st I shudder to think of what might have
happened had I bought an ST (1.4 TOS is out - $100 & no documentation included).
Good work all!  Keep it up!

On a more technical note:
	Has anyone considered tackling the problem of translating AmigaDOS
scripts into Arexx code?  [I haven't had much chance to examine this closely
but I wanted to toss this out].  Sounds like a nice graduate or upper-division
project, eh?  Or, better yet, an Arexx compiler!  [I can dream, can't I? :) ]

Time for bed.
