Better get a letter of to Amiga World also. In the lastest issue they again
critize the Unix OS. CBM is working on a version of SVR4 (true?) which
could be the Amigas last best hope for cracking the corporate and federal
desktop. Meanwhile a major Amiga publication has twice now (that I've seen)
done and axe job on Unix with half-truths and hearsay. 

You don't have to like Unix but ANY hardware/software package than can
help CBM sell more Amigas should be welcomed. Again, Amiga World shows
all the intelligence of a blank eprom.
