Doug:
     You are wrong.  the Amiga has both a mouse and a window 
environment.  It works pretty good with Chip Oranges program.  Also, 
Windows  is a "window," environment and OS/2 is one of these type. 
Screen Reader from IBM works with OS/2, not available at this time, but 
soon, and its power is truely amazing.  Please lets not have a brand 
war--to each their own.  Anybody know if the Atari 520's have a voice 
program, or have any of you tried the speech programs on the Atari with 
the IBM bridge boards, or for that matter anybody tried one on the Amiga 
with the bridge board?  It should prove interesting to see if using an 
Amiga, and a bridge board, if you could pipe the voice output to the 
voice chips in the amiga, thusly making the machine a single unit 
running IBM software (80xxx software), but still making 68xxx programs 
available as well.
