   I am currently helping my sister's husband start a new party supply
store. At this point in time I am designing the sign for the store and the
business cards using my Amiga (I'm no artist but with the Amiga you don't
have to be...:') ). This sign design will (somehow) be given to a sign maker
for reference in building the sign. The same goes for the business card's
layout. Since this is only a reference to go by rather than using it to make
an exact copy, I guess I'll simply print the outline out and color in the
proper colors. I'm simply doing this for him to save him a little money in
the design aspect. Besides, I thought of the name and I *know* what I want
the sign to look like. :) Any views here?

 Now on to the real meat of this message. I've got my hand in the advertising
, inventory and other various aspects of the new business. I want to run as
many aspects as I can of the new business off of my Amiga. I'm currently
going to college to be a computer programmer and have been in computers for
almost ten years now, so I know what computer I want to use. :) Anyway, I
need advice on all aspects of business software for the Amiga. Everything
from form making software, to inventory/database control, to word processors
and spreadsheets. What is the best software out there in these and other
business fields? I've "visited" one party supply store that was using IBM
computers for point-of-sales. They were touch screen and very colorful/GUI
intensive. Looked very impressive. All the sales were relayed to the back
room where another computer stored the data on hard disk for future reference
when you do the books later that night. What a setup! Does anything like
this exist for the Amiga? Finally, on a smaller note, what is the best
banner making software out for the Amiga, and does anybody have any info on
printing custom T-shirts with a printer/computer setup?

 Any other general remarks which may fit under this conversation are welcome.

       Why purchase a MAC when an Amiga with the same CPU will run 99% of all
    __ MAC software..and FASTER at that?! The same can be said of the IBM and
 __/// Atari computers, and I can run those in a window. IBM's greatest sales 
 \XX/  tool is ignorance on the consumer's part. Only the Amiga! DEVO Anyone?
