>I don't just mean games either, I am talking about programs like MS-Word >and quicken etc etc etc… A Quicken clone has already been announced for the Amiga and if you want to run crappy MSDOS software like MS-Word, buy an Emplant and the 486DX upgrade module. Who needs Microsoft to multitack MSWord, when we have UU? > This I believe is what will make people stand up and notice the Amiga… Yeah, right, the same people who think FLC files are multimedia and buy machines to run Lotus 123…ho hum. I really don't care if some DOS geek can compile Borland code on my amiga, and neither do most Amiga users I would think. Showing the people what we can do with amigas, old or new, has already gotten the Amiga more press than ever before. In fact, there was respect in the community until CBM finally deservedly nose-dived. > Going back to the way it was is no solution… Agreed…unless you mean the way it was three or four years ago before Ali…and add in some real marketing. >Unless people can see those type programs running on a computer that can >multitask like the Amiga can, then I don't hold hope for a reborn Amiga >that will sell better than it ever has…. The Emplant emulator already lets me show "those type programs" running on my Amiga…hehehe Grant Boucher – Amblin Imaging "It's hard to believe grown-ups do this for a living."
