Ben,
I begin(well, not really begin) to believe that you live in a totally different
world than mine. Last year, I needed a Cyrillic font for doing Dutch-Russian
translations. The people at our IT department told me it was easy to find them.
It was so easy I designed one myself (not a very good one, I hadn't the time)
because after two months they did only come up with a very ugly font that just
seemed to be badly scanned and I am conscious of the fact this has nothing to
do with “extended'' font sets.
One anecdote, the last, I had with MS-people happened about two years ago. I
asked them to show me the multi-tasking possibilities of Windows. It turned out
that they couldn't.
>>far ahead of the Amiga in most departments<<
The day I find a computer system with the overall capabilities of an Amiga, it
doesn't even have to be better, only widely available and used I change
immediately. I know of plenty of people *telling* me I am a hard-headed fool
and that the Amiga is plain worthless. But how does it come that no one has
ever even tried to show me al those wonderful things a PC does better than an
Amiga. I use PC's all the time, I train people in how to use PC's. At my work,
I have five PC's that I can consider to be “mine''. I have one Amiga and yet I
have to turn to that Amiga all the time… I *hate* doing that bevcause I hate
always going stream upwards but at least I can get the job done that way.
