Yes, indeed. Born and mostly raised here. I went to Omni, and was
told that they'd not received their shipments of ProWrite 3.2. I did try
FinalCopy, and had mixed feelings. It might be great with a hard drive,
but you better have three drives if you're going to run it from floppies.
The program has the annoying habit of demanding certain disks back in a
_particular_ drive, going totally against Amiga standards. I made the
mistake of popping out the program disk and putting in their FCData disk,
and was condemned forever after (until reboot, actually) to swapping disks
from that particular drive, even though the other floppy might have been
empty. ARRRGH!
Regarding Omni, they've sure come a long way since when I first met
Larry Owens. He was bringing suitcases of software to user group meetings,
and he had at least one copy of _EVERY_ commercial Amiga program in that
suitcase. Then he ran Omni from his living room, until it got too big even
for that. They're apparently still making good money, but the place still
has an unfortunately patchwork feel to it. (sigh) I did get to see my
first CDTV, though. Kinda nifty, and the CD caddy really isn't all _that_
bad, but I'm still not sure I get the point. 🙂
