- I, for one, believe that Woody (Softwood) has been more than fair with Amiga
- users. I get regular mailouts of any 'specials', we receive updates when we
- need them, they are pretty responsive to user requests, the tech support
- is FREE, and they maintain a presence here on the nets! Can't ask much more
- in the way of support from a company. IMHO
