- I will be the first to admit that you guys do a great job of releasing
- rock solid software, and I still love your program. Thanks for your
- response. I just hope that you stay strong with us complaining Amiga
- users. I have a small request to beef up your web page more towards the
- Amiga versions. Why does Win95 FW get so much space and cool graphics
- and screen shots. Why don't you pay more attention to the products that
- got you where you are today and where you plan to go with them. The
- Amiga FW page is really weak and makes me wonder which version (win95 or
- Amiga) is more important to you.
-
- Please give the Amiga web page aome glamour to show the Windows users
