	Prodigy had a small display at a show here at the U of D last year.
I asked the rep about the possibility of an Amiga port... he said he 
wasn't sure, but that more people asked him that question than any other.
I don't know that prodigy would be all that big of a deal.  Almost every
time it's mentioned (except by Prodigy staff :-), words like "sluggish",
"overrated", "useless", "don't bother using it anymore" usually crop up.

	Prodigy is missing out on a fairly large market by not porting their
software over.  You'd think when a machine is this close to 2 million in
sales, a few companies might take notice...  (On a similar note, I read
in a recent InfoWorld or PCWeek that Borland is writing a spreadsheet for
the NeXT... I have to wonder about a company which writes software for a
machine with an installed base of ~5000 while completely ignoring 2 million
Amiga users...)
