- Exactly, my disapproval of including MUI apps is because I want them
- to enjoy using the machine, get involved with Amigas, and most
- importantly _stay_ with the Amiga.

- be what they want to hear.

- I have this horrible vision of a load of people posting here in a few
- monhths time saying, "I bought this Amiga so I could get on the 'net
- like my mate/neighbour etc. can on his/her PC, but it sucks, I can't
- do too much without getting out of memory messages. I'm gonna get rid
- of it, and buy a PC" :-(
