Well, I picked up a copy of AmigoTimes this past weekend and it says
was created on Commodore Amiga with the aid of the following tools ...
I'm far from a DTP nut, in fact I generally am totally disinterested in
the subject.  However, the mag looked pretty damn nice to me.  I'd be
interested in what you consider 'decent' DTP.  For that matter even if
the Amiga software was on par with the Apple environment due to Apple's
established rep in document processing and DTP most people would still
go with them.
