- No doubt! And I don't see why M$ sees Amiga as a threat.. they don't
- make machines... Geez.. if M$ made a version of office for Amiga, and sold
- it to 4 million Amiga owners for only cost+$10, they'd have at least $40
- million in profit.. if it was that cheap, most people would probably buy it.
- Cost probably wouldn't be to bad as I'm sure there are many competent
- programmers willing to port the code, for free or a low price.
-
- In any case.. I'm surprised that BlueRibbon didn't push for Aminet.. I mean,
- if the proggie is free, you know it will go around everywhere just like
- pirated stuff can. Hell, they aren't gonna make more money off of it, except
- for manuals, so why not put it everywhere and "license" people when they
- buy the manuals.
-
- Geez.. some companies' operations are just so lame.
