     I'm a paid professional writer. I use an Amiga.
     I publish a nationally distributed magazine. Using an Amiga.
     Are these "non-professional" activities?
     I've used equivalant software on clones. I own an actual IBM. I use it
as a typewriter when the Amigas are all busy. I wouldn't go back if you paid
me to do so. The interfaces are horrible, the task communication doesn't exist,
(neither do the tasks, for that matter. Just say "no" to single-tasking
systems), and both of those make my jobs lots harder.
     And I won't even talk about the corresponding equipment costs...
