Ouch!  Thank you Leo for the probably well-deserved flame-out...

Unfortunately the mention of Jerry P makes me see red, and especially
with a statement like that which implies that the amiga was, until his
decree, sufficient for _nothing_...

My real point, as I see it, was that although you may not be able to
do them as well, you really _can_ do most things (I DON'T count a lot
of those (circuit design and analysis, LANs, etc.) as typical-user
tasks) that you would use an IBM for on an Amiga, although you may not
have quite as much choice how...(Who NEEDS 300 different
wordprocessors?!)


--Me? Know what I'm talking about? Scandalous!!
