	Having Mathematica will add name recognition to the Amiga
but not much else. Before talking about how left behind the Amiga
is, you should find out the state of Amiga software! Maple, made
by Waterloo Maple Software, is made for the Amiga. It is also
made for Macs, IBMs, Suns, IBM RS/6000, VAXen and even Crays. The
latest version Maple V, which features 3-D color plots, is well
on its way for both AmigaDOS and Amiga Unix.
