>We don't have enough graphics artists on the Amiga.  

I am a fairly good computer graphics artist (IMNSHO) :-) 
But I can't find any work in the field around here! Go figure.

Not much happens in the way of technology around Looneyville. 
The technological blackhole of the USA. 

So, I just piddle around and draw (on my Amiga) just for the fun of it.

My actual JOB function is a combination Electrical Designer using AutoCAD
and semi-commercial/business artist, making up business presentations for
the boss to impress his bosses with. But that is on a IBM PC. I keep trying
to get an Amiga in here, but no luck. It's viewed as a toy. 

I keep telling them that if it is just a toy, how come the Amiga can emulate
an IBM, and Mac, but they can't emulate the Amiga?
I am told "Why would they want to emulate the Amiga? It's just a toy."

ARRRRRRGGHHH!!!![pulling my hair out]
