The Amiga has absolutely nothing that compares to WP, Lotus 123 or even
DBase 3. So don't be so skeptical, _WE_ amiga users need these packages
and the people, like you, who claim we don't, obviously don't have a
need for such software. _F*CK_, I had to buy a bridgeboard just to use a
good spreadsheet!
