Thanx , but I do not want a A2000 yet , my problem is that software that was to be available for the AMIGA is not going to be , because the software companies are not satisfied with the sales of the AMIGA. The software is engineering type packages and one company Capilano ( Logic Works ) is not going offer the "better" versions for the AMIGA and another program they have for the MAC will NOT be ported to the AMIGA . They blame it on a lack of sales and demand from the AMIGA market place . BUT All their software is available for the MAC.

There were a few other reasons for Capilano not continuing work on LogicWorks for the Amiga, not the least of which is the fact that TDI can't seem to write a compiler. If they told you it was due to lack of sales, they are not telling you the whole story. Any company that expects to get thousands of preorders for vapour, then bases a marketing decision on a lack of response is sadly out of touch with the Amiga marketplace, where vapour seems to be prevalent. Note that a _lot_ of the vapour emanated from places well removed from West Chester.
