A UI-type interface?  Yes, I want a user-interface type interface!!! :-)

Obviously another programmer with a bunch of time on his hands, here.  I'm
a programmer without much time on my hands.  Many people don't have the time
to LEARN how to write programs on the Amiga, and then to actually WRITE
something useful.  Many thanks to those who support the Amiga in such a way,
but I and many others just don't have the time to do it.

If we did that, then it would be TOO LATE!!!  We need to make requests
before things are finalized, or else we'll just be whining about what should
have been in there.  I believe the people at Commodore have heard MORE than
enough whining about what should have been done.  I'm sure that they
would agree.

That's great!!!  Is it realistic?  Does the female sound like a HUMAN female?
