Putting faster processors in the PC might be a joke, but remember that in
the two VCR standards the inferior (VHS) won out!
You say the time has come for developers to start cracking. I say they
should have done that years ago. The Apple II had fairly good early
support (VisiCalc, AppleWriter, Flight Simulator, etc.), and it still faded
away.
I think it's better to have too much than not enough software. It's true
that there are some nice PD and shareware programs for the Amiga, but I
also saw a lot of duds on Fred Fish disks that wouldn't even run.
I guess I got kind of carried away with the 'ultimate' computer idea. When
I got my Apple and for years to follow I thought there couldn't be anything
better. When I saw the 'Juggler' on the Amiga I thought the same thing. I
haven't seen anything like it on the PCs, but then besides being cute the
'Juggler' is not very practical. Good word processors, spreadsheets, and
other productivity software is needed very badly for the Amiga.
