The Amiga DOES has some things going for it that the MS-Dulls cant do (very well): DTV. Yes, I know, this isnt putting Amigas in offices yet… but DTP didnt take off in a few months either. As the capability of DTV hardware/software improves, this is what will set the Amiga apart. However, for a corporation to consider buying Amiga's, they need the mainstream productivity progs. When I say mainstream, I mean PROFESSIONAL. Some of the stuff for the Amy is great, but there is no doubting that the DTP, Spreadsheet, and Database areas are a _little_ shallow. Also, 'big-name' applications like 1-2-3 and Dbase IV would allay fears that the Amiga is a "home computer", or a game machine. Name association is a well known phenomenon. Mark Eaton
