Along with the fact that their is *no* C= supported Ethernet/Novell
compatible network solution is relegating the Amiga to the video/music (and
little enough of that, the Atari still really owns the music market here)
and game sector, with growing interest in multimedia applications. If C=
expects to get anywhere before being blown out of the water by Apple with
their new low priced MACs (even here, *any* university student can get one
at half price, and university is free here so they often have the cash) and
also being held at bay by MS-DOS/Windows 3.0 and OS2, they are going to
have to clean up their act. Better customer support, improvements to the
operating system (especially the ability to add third-party graphics cards
and have them supported under AmigaDOS and Intuition) and improved
marketing will be the final deciding factor.
Does your company stand much of a chance here? Don't know. The best people
to ask would be GD. Find out if they will give you an estimate of how many
registered users they have here. That's the best estimate. Pagestream
appears to be more popular here. It is the *little man's* DTP program.
Right from the start it offered support for clean output on dot-matrix
printers, and that probably was the difference.
