Hi! This is my first time on the Amiga Forum (and my first on CompuServe), so forgive me if I botch it up. So far all I've done is read the messages everyone sends to each other. Most of the hardware stuff goes over my head, but still sounds neat. For those of o don't k vice president of Brown-Wagh Publishing in Los Gatos, CA (right above C-A). We do all the marketing and sales for products from Micro-Systems Software (Scribble!, Analyze!, Online!, BBS-PC!, Flipside!, Organize!, The Works!), Zuma Group (TV*TEXT, TV*SHOW, Zuma Fonts), Northeast Software Group (Publisher Plus), SoftWood Company (Write & File, File IIsg), and PAR Software (Express Paint, Stellar Conflict, Wordplex). I know I'll be asking some of you questions over the next few months, so if you have some for me, go ahead. If I can figure out how to work this message stuff, I'll do my best to answer anything. If the questions go past me (technically), I'll get the answers from the developers and let you know what they said. Thanks for bearing with me. Steve Wagh

Welcome aboard, Steve! Always good to have a new rep come on line. Just for my own curiosity, would you mind enlightening me as to the nationality and pronunciation of "Wagh"? (I have an interest in less-than-common last names, since I have one myself). Looking forward to your participation in the forum! Rick

Rick, Let me jump in if I may. I believe "Wagh" is pronounced "Way". I had the pleasure of meeting Steve, I believe it was Steve, AT AmiEXPO LA. I was under the impression it was pronounced "Wah", but was corrected. As to what nationality that is? I'll leave that up to Steve! <grin> GreG

Steve: Welcome to the forum and thanks for the presence at 'our' Expo in L.A. You guys had a nice layout. I was a little 'tough' on the guy from Softwood (his name escapes me just now). I had purchased 'MiAmiga' and then 'upgraded' to 'Files II GS.' Programs that demand that the Ami be configured a certain way really 'torch me off.' I am still not sure that he understood what I meant by allowing the user to specify any device legal to the Ami for mass storage. It probably does not matter much since 'Write & File' appears to be correct in that regard and he stated that the interface for 'IIGS' would be changed to match. By the way, I did not get around to asking if there is an 'upgrade' policy from 'IIGS' to Write & File. I hope so since the money spent on Softwood products so far has been a total waste of money. Please don't take these remarks personally as I am well aware of the fact that you were not responsable for any of the problems that I have had with those products. Stick around, this is THE place to find out about the Ami and you certainly can provide valuable input to the rest of the members of this forum. 73, bill

Aha! I caught you snooping in here, hunh??? Trying to get ahold of my gossip sources before I do, eh?? Welcome, anyway. Always room for one more. And WHEN are you going to quit talking about TV*Show and start SHIPPING it??? (Just to get things off to a properly sntagonistic mood.) J: [of GADGET fame, lest you forget]

Steve, Welcome aboard! We're glad to have you here. It looks like you did just fine leaving your first message, but I also know that things can get just a little confusing around here at first so please don't hesitate to ask anything that comes to mind. Don

Welcome to the forum Steve! I'm sure you'll find a lot of people here with questions for you, along with both flowers and flames for various of your products. Oh, and you did fine with your first message. Please don't hesitate to ask about anything. Regards, Larry.
