John, About Amiga BASIC… what exactly was Microsoft's great sin? that it wasn't 020/030/040 compatible? Geez, it was written before those processors existed. The Amiga product manager was responsible for specs. C= probably paid a flat fee plus royalties to Microsoft for the product. C= probably could have paid to have it upgraded and they decided against it. In my book, the AmigaVision swap for AmigaBasic in some model configurations makes sense. I doubt if many new users were hungering to do Basic language programming anyhow. When was the last time you saw a Basic language uploaded on CompuServe for the Amiga? About Microsoft Works… I think Bill Gates and Company would turn out a superb version of their program for the Amiga. It and Quicken packaged with an A500DS would go along way toward having greater acceptance in the home market. Did you hear Ben go "ARRGH!"
