Sure, I'll throw in a penny's worth. First, I find it interesting that you are
receiving "strongly worded mail from Commodore users…", apparently in what
you consider a significant statistical percentage, while here in the AmigaForum
I recall no discussion whatsoever of Leary's activities, pro, con, or
otherwise. Care to upload these "vehemently worded" letters to our DLs here so
we can all discuss this intelligently?
I find it difficult to believe that anyone of rational mind would "boycott C/A
for further purchases" simply because a package connected with a disliked
personality was released by the company in question. Again, I would like to
see some of these statements "in print".
My comment, then, is this: No comment… until substantiated facts are provided
which support what reads remarkably like hyperbole.
By the way, you'll want to retract your "All the folks I've talked with so far
have said they wouldn't buy the package just because Leary's name would be on
it", since I see there are some people in this thread willing to judge the
program on its own merits, rather than condemning it because of its origins.
Merry Christmas.
Rick
