  31. Ask any young budding graphics artist who learned with all Amiga stuff 
  32. and is now looking for a job as an artist. They get hired if they have 
  33. experience with the applications that the employer currently uses. 
  34. Showing this prospective employer all the cool stuff they created with 
  35. Imagine and Brilliance _rarely_ gets them in the door. If this guy's 
  36. fantasy were true, there would be LOTS more Amigas in use in non-video 
  37. related graphics fields.
