- Tell me how Softwood is supposed to "*MAKE* them come true" if nobody buys
- their software? What is Woody supposed to pay his programers with if he is not
- making a profit?

- Softwood has been there since the beginning and is *STILL* there when most
- others have given up on the Amiga. How much of a longer term do you want?
- IMO,Softwood is the best software vendor in the Amiga arena today. Excellent
- support, outstanding products, free bugfixes, reasonable upgrade fees etc. It
- is attidudes like yours that will make companies like Softwood wonder why they
- bother.
