	Now, now. Amiga "business" software isn't BAD. Current
software is good, perhaps even quite good, however we do not have
the highest support. Specifically, we lack good graphing
utilities, which is surprising considering the Amiga has such
good graphics. Most of the better Amiga graphing programs are
mathematics packages, not spreadsheet/statistics.
	However, Analyze from GoldDisk and SuperBase from
Precision are both good programs very usable for most people,
just not the most demanding.
