In the above Leo complains - justifiably it seems - that Byte should
not have cancelled their APril graphics issue because 'There were
to many Amiga submissions.'
  Well, I have a little twist on that matter - if some talented Amiga
owner would just write a Naplps drawing/terminal program for the Amiga,
you wouldn't need Byte! You could all share your work in full, animated
and living color by telecommunicatins. And this is not a put-down of
Amigans. The Amiga would make a heck of a Naplps graphics platform,
both for creation and display of creative work. But, while I hear
from time to time mutterings about 'I'm gonna write a Naplps program
for my Amiga' its been all talk so far.
  But if/when one does appear, and quality graphics start moving
over phone lines - with all the extreme compression the Naplps
standard allows for, then Byte would really have something to
write about.
