- They don't HAVE to take advantage of the deal from IBM and it is ONLY until
- March 31st anyways! It is just a small incentive to buy before then for
- the people who can readily take advantage of it and it is a small incentive
- for IBM to get some new customers. Also an association with IBM in some
- eyes is more professional thus the package could be taken more seriously
- and it is much better then being associated with Windows and the Microsoft
- Network!

- As for MUI, if you know about it and don't like it, don't get the
- package. Gilles B. already stated there will be a few high powered Web
- browsers for the Amiga coming out, some of which will not support MUI
- (AWEB in particular) so get it or whatever other one surfaces. Also if
- you had noticed Gilles stated in his press release, version 3.2 of MUI is
- being used to make it work better with the stock A1200 so perhaps it can
- run a bit better then the standard version.
