I purchased my Amiga just a few months ago. I am not a programmer. I don't
know C. The Amiga and its libraries are very sophisticated.

By reading this net and getting bunches of Fish disks I am overcoming those
obstacles to creating my own things on the Amiga.

The large amount of flames and DESTRUCTIVE criticism of Commodore management
slow down my reading of this net. I can tolerate that. But!

Commodore management must have A LOT MORE SMARTS than most people give them
credit for. They ALLOW andy and carolyn and george and others to provide the
readers of this net with excellent assistance. They DELIVERED the Amiga 1000.

What has Big Blue done will all there vast resources. What has Atari done
with their marketing ability.

I hope that Commodore has enough cash flow that they can put a BIG advertizing
campaign behind the 500 and the 2000. If they do, I won't worry about the
possibility of having an orphan.
