Yes it is, though you couldn't prove it by the results of the folks who make up
the pages of Byte. Seems their criteria is that the more it can do, the better
the technology, the worse the coverage.

Don't look now, but 'most of us' are not using Amigas, depending a lot, of
course, on your definition of 'us'. Some of that situation is due to the
popular magazines and their near total ignorance of anything outside the
wonderful world of Microsoft and IBM and their imitators.
