complex, memory-using Windows 3.1 application." THAT IS WHY I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE AMIGA TO THE NEW PC USER. I bet this is probably a DOS version of one of your cool Amiga products. (No doubt using the tricks learned from the Amiga platform.) How many units of the Windows verion do you think you'll sell compared to the Amiga version? (Ignoring the fact that you guys have a stronger name in the Amiga industry than in the IBM field). It used to be that the Amiga was cheaper AND better. Given the number of people developing for Windows (and this too is based on 'quite a few known *facts*'), I don't see the amiga keeping an edge for long. When asked by people I know, I recommend IBM or Mac – depending on what systems their friends and business associates use. (I have as yet to run into someone who says 'most of my friends use amigas' – unfortunately.) 'The importance of a tool is determined by how MUCH you can use it.' To counter your arguments re: 'experience': I have known of the Amiga since its release, though have only owned one for 5 years. I have never owned a PC or Mac, but worked as network administrator/tech support for a mixed network of 100+ PCs and Macs. Let's try to seperate prejudice from facts here. I like the Amiga, and IT DOES A GREAT JOB – for what I want to do. Unfortunately, my girlfriend ain't gonna' make as much money developing for the amiga as for the ibm. Thanks for your opinion, it is as valid as the one it responded to. Now, just remember that I DID SAY I LIKED THE AMIGA in my first message. Thanks and Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom
