	Who said there was a war? Both machines have a lot to contibute to the
personal computer world. That aside, software at a show and software on the
shelves are two vastly different things. I am certain that if Commodore had
gone to the show they could have dug up at least two dozen software vendors to
come to the show and display their wares, even if the software is not ready to
ship. Electronic Arts, one of the biggest manufacturers of entertainment
software, just last week started shipping Amiga software. To the best of my
knowledge they are not even planning to produce on software for the ST. To
claim that the software is here based on a few software vendors at a show is
over-exagerating a little.
