	Um, I really hate having to do this, but one thing that has continually
bothered me is the poor Desktop publishing for the Amiga.  It certainly is a 
cheaper computer, and I'm not real sure why it doesn't give good output.  I havenever seen a product for the amiga that gives good non-jagged fonts on a dot
matrix printer.  The mac, on the other hand, gives fairly nice output on their
Imagewriters.  Now, I love my amiga, and I wouldn't part with it for the world,
but if I wanted to do desktop publishing as a personal business, I would have a
mac instead of an amiga.  Luckily, my major use for it is writing, and I don't
care about fonts when I submit stories.
	Also, on a somewhat similar note, why doesn't the amiga have the fonts
integrated into the system software?  I really hate having fonts be a particularpart of a program, instead of being universally available for all programs
with no work being necessary.
