But how about those of us that have a cheap (er, inexpensive) 24 pin
printer?  I don't want to go out and blow my bucks on a DTP program when
all I want is a simple inexpensive word processor that does fonts and
imports graphics.

Macs come with MacWrite, no?  Why isn't there a simple WP of comparable
quality that comes with the Amiga?  I could almost guarantee this would
increase sales of Amigas greatly.  With the price of Mac Plus's coming
under $1000.00...

This way, people could buy an Amiga and right away do something
productive without having to buy another item.  Isn't that what many
people are looking for?

I know, I'm a little off the subject.  Sorry about that.
