I wrote Larry Blasko a letter and he actually replied. I pointed out that excluding the Amiga because it wasn't one of the top two, but one of the top three platforms wasn't really cool. I also pointed out that a $1800 '486 might seem like a good bargain until you look at the price of the software. $300-$400 word processors etc. Another point I made was how many pieces of software does a normal home or student user need to choose from? There is more than enough software, in most cases, for Amiga users. He wrote me back and said "point taken." He also said something like: "Geez…You Amiga guys are like Mac guys before they invented desktop publishing and had to start wearing shoes and a suit." I wish I could quote his original letter but PROCOMM didn't save it as I requested. Could have been my mistake though…might have hit the wrong button or something. I requested he resend his letter though and I will put it here with my letter. His CompuServe ID, by the way, is 74740,3235. Write him. He said he would appreciate any Amiga related news and stories. Basically, if we want him to cover the Amiga, we need to supply him with something to cover.
