- The smart thing for ANY AMIGA user to do is to get on the Internet! Being so
- hard to find good Programs, and News/Information some other way other then the
- Internet isn't all that easy. It's a WHOLE lot cheaper to get on the Internet
- with a ISP then to try finding Amiga BBS's to call, looking for New software,
- I know. With Amiga Mags being few, and everything posted in them OLD and
- outdated, or just pretty much a repeat of older stuff, the Internet is the way
- to go. I would think there's quite a few Amiga users on the Internet. I
- myself have no Need for 5 nodes.
