'No serious graphic artist or typographer would be caught dead using such a font' Gee, then I guess these professionals have never had to format tabular data in computer style type? How nice of you guys to condescend to help us poor illiterates. (You'll have to excuse me, but your flippant and rude treatment of the Amiga – while simultaneously asking for help in using it – has left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope you learn to treat your potential clients with greater respect. Until then, you won't be getting my business.) (I just read the thrashing you took in the Amiga User section, and while I do not consider your comments Amiga Bashing per se, you sure did cop an attitude, and made it very clear how little you thought of the system. Tell me, would the average rabid, myopic, PC or Mac user treat you any differently if you started calling their system 'archaic'?) (BTW, that was a rhetorical question. _I'm_ not interested in a flame fest, I just thought I'd let you know that the toes you're stepping on could well belong to potential clients. And yes, as owners of a dying format, some of us do tend to get a little over-protective.) Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom
