I will always continue posting until I get a response, then I will read the
article and to the best of my ability either admit I was wrong and/or try to 
show why was right.  So postings that are telling me to stop will never work.

The reason why I complain is that I want developers to write software that I 
want so that I will have an urge to buy !!!  You see all I am telling de-
velopers is that I want to buy software, but they need to make the software 
is want !!!!  I WANT TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPER COMMUNTIY

   I am in the process of writing software for the amiga.  At the end
of my use of the 2000 I was working on this punnet square program.  However,
when I got my Amiga 3000 I could not access the intuition part of the amiga
and I also need 2.0 include because I want to make a very nice interface
(closely related to the prefences of 2.0) and want to flesh out that part.
I am sending away for Matt Dillon C (dice) on saturday.  Also I will be 
porting Mac Software to the amiga

I brought the machine and kept it for the following reasons :

     1..  Primarily I am starting to become a developer and develop 
          software for the amiga and still like the amiga as a 
          programming machine

     2..  The support from the dealer was fantastic 

     3..  I can run Ibm mac and amiga software on this machine, BUT
          AMIGA DEVELOPERS I WANT TO SUPPORT THE AMIGA COMMUNITY. I
          do not want to use their software, I feel more comfortable
          with the amiga Os (God I love Amiga Multitasking !!!!!!)

Another bright spot

   I am not sure how long these titles have been out, but in the true 
   basic magazine, I saw some new educationial titles for the Amiga

          1.. probability
          2.. statistics
          3.. discrete mathmatics

By the way let me state that I do like amiga software, I just want to see
it become more and more diverse.  By the way I am not nieve enough to expect
it to happen overnight, but all I want to see is some movement in that di- 
rection !!!!
