This is really just a plea to the developers in this forum. I am probably one f the biggest amiga fans out there, but I find the quality of software on the market distressing. There is so little out there to help the Amigas join in on the current IBM dominated market. For example… is there a CAD program for the Amiga that can actualy compare to AutoCAD 386? I know the A3000 can compete against a 386 and probably come out ahead… so where is the CAD program to set the Amiga into the CAD market? How about a LOTUS compatible spreadsheet? Is there a spreadsheet out there for the Amiga that can actually compare to LOTUS? I know there was VIP, but it just doesn't like the A3000 at all. What about Desktop Publishing? Anything for the Amiga that can compare to Ventra Publish and those other big IBM and Mac programs? WordPerfect supported the Amiga for a while, but it died out. Now with more Amigas out there and a more professional appearance, it is time for serious applications to be developed for the Amiga. Granted, movement in the 24-bit graphics is finally happening, but there is already talk about 32-bit graphics… how about making the Amiga the first in that market. The Amiga needs a REAL accounting package for small to medium sized businesses. These markets are untouched and I think might be a valid investment for an Amiga developer. Commodore has done a pretty sucky job in marketing the Amiga. The developers are gonna have to be the ones to get the ball rolling. I would appreciate any replies to this but please send them to me VIA Email so I will be sure to get them. I meant this to go to all developers in this conference but I think I can send it to only one…please spread it to the others and let the concerns of alot of people be known. Thank you.
