FLAME ON****

Did the IBM PC have an abundance of software when it was
introduced???  NO!!!!  Did the MACINTOSH  have an 
abundance of software when it first came
out??? NOOO!!!! In fact, as I recall, the macintosh
didn't have an abundance (relative) of sotware for a whole
year.  A couple of friends of mine had nothing but
macpain (the drawing program) for a long time.

So give the Amiga a break and wait a year.  I am sure the
software base will grow exponentially (so sure in fact, that
I bought one)


I was over at my local computer store the other day, and they
say that the IBM PC'S and the MAC'S are the Amiga's
best friend.  They told me an amusing story about how
this one lady came in to buy a MAC and happened to see
the Amiga, with it's limited software base, running some graphics
program.  So what happened??? She bought the Amiga.
