Hmm, along these lines, may I respectfully ask somebody to write to MicroTimes
about such things.  [MicroTimes is Bay Area specific, I'd be happy to submit
an article for some aspiring author.. :)]
In the recent Letters column, following a predictable tirade of "don't abuse
us poor Amiga owners," the following was printed:

[Quoted from Feb 19 1990 MicroTimes without permission]

For the record, we [MicroTimes] would welcome an informative article on the
use of Amigas with Hewlett-Packard printers, laser and otherwise.  To say
nothing of the use of the Amiga in multi-vendor networked business
environments.  Interested writers are heartily encouraged to contact us. --eds.

So anyone interested in a little evangelism?
