I seem to remember that this sort of thing happens with ALL new
micros.  There are always gonna be people and companies that will
take advantage of the poor computer user with nothing to run on his 
brand new micro.  The user is desperate for anything that he or she
can use.  Already I have seen people (or read mail from them) who 
are in desperate need of a terminal package and other similar
programs.  Those who are quick to capitalize on this ravenous/vulturic
attitude produce shoddy programs and market them to an unsuspecting
public.  The only advice I have is for those of you who are in the
market for Amiga software is that you all should wait before you  
spend your money.  Make sure the program(s) you buy will be able to do
the things you need it(them) to!  Please be a smart shopper.  (After
reading this, you can tell why I lost my job at the computer store...)
