Steve, I'll be attending the World of Amiga Show in New York this Saturday. Is there anything in particular you would like me to check out? I can then include it in my show report, which I'll post here. Let me know, please. Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–

Hi, Dom — Pardon my intrusion! While you are cruising WOA, please check out that mysterious spreadsheet which (if memory serves me right) was rumored to have been signed to contract recently (within the last several months).The time and place ought to be right for some info, maybe even an announcement… My suspicions are that this is the one that Khalid Aldoseri has been working on, but I don't know that. — I reeeeely want something I can use in my office without major annoyances, and have been hanging on to the hope that such a need for a good 'sheet would be met by someone. Good hunting, and thanks! — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]

Ed, I don't know if a spreadsheet will be announced at WOA. I do know that there is a new one that's expected to start shipping in June. Since no announcement has been made to date I can't mention the publisher but the spreadsheet situation for the Amiga should improve greatly in June. -sja

I too am waiting on this new SS that is rumored to be almost done. Without bending NDA what can you tell you about it?

I could tell you a bunch about it but it isn't my place to do so. When the author and/or the publisher want to talk about it publically (that should be soon) you'll get all the gory details.

Well, if this mysterious author/publisher is hanging around (gee, could he be? :-), it would be great if he'd contact some of us journalists who are saddled with three-month lead times who'd love to get some timely coverage in our magazines of this long-awaited product. Me, hinting? Moi? 🙂

Well, both are active forum members so hopefully one or the other will contact you.

Can you give us the second letter in the authors first name? –Paul < Motorola Inside >

Paul, Hehehehe — well, I think it's obvious that it's Khalid. Until the publisher announces, tho, I'll let that remain a mystery.

I'm glad he's stuck with it and is on track. Good to hear. Thanks. –Paul < Motorola Inside >

Hi, Steve — Thanks for the info concerning a new spreadsheet for Amiga expected in June…. I'll hang on with gritted teeth awhile longer! — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]

Ed, The only spreadsheet I saw was Professional Calc. I saw your messsage after I returned from the show and while I was there I wasn't really interested in spreadsheets. Sorry. Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–

Hi, Dom — Thanks anyhow! (My query got some interesting news from Steve about a spreadsheet in-the-works, so I'm pacified for awhile.) — Ed (In Nawth NH) — [via AP!]

Dom, Nothing in particular but everything new! -sja

I got back from the WOA Show. It was very nice, but I was disappointed that NewTek didn't have their usual front booth presence. However, the attendance was good. I'll post a show report soon. One new music product that I hadn't seen before was Symphony. A good show overall. I wore my AMigaForums ribbon, but unfortunately I didn't see one other person with the ribbon.
