This posting really hits home.. I find that this is really the truth
of the matter in the use of the machine. Where are all the great applications
that can be developed ?? I know that a lot of you are "real busy" but
dread that a lot of it is games.. 

I still have my Mac Plus, and the only thing that I use it for is MacWrite,
because nothing on the Amiga supports text and graphics and fonts. Why ?
The IIGS already has these packages announced and reviewed in InfoWorld.

I would be interested in putting together a set of information about those
persons doing real work on the Amiga, and distribute the projects and the
people names on Public domain disks. It is really frustrating to see all the
enthusiasum for the Amiga but still nothing that can really impress people
as much as the programs for the Amiga should be able to.. Sorry for this
flame, I guess I have seen too much work go into the Amiga without it going
where it should - to the moon.

If there is interest in getting together a list of all the people doing
work post me mail. I can put it together in InfoMinder format and make it
available to everybody. Thanks.
