Quite right.  It is a deficiency in the perception of the author of
the article.  He isn't bright.

This is the whole point of sending letters to editors to make them
aware that they are *not* catering to their market.  That is there
are a lot of Amiga users out there who want to see reviews etc.

The other point is to make sure that these sort of articles are
factual rather than fashionable.  That is Macs and SUNs may be
fashionable with computer journos but people who have to use
Multimedia should have all the facts.
