- I sent my registration fee for Thor on Feb 12th. I also own Final Writer
- 4, PageStream 3.0h2, QuarterBack, AmiFileSafe, registered ShapeShifter (and
- Mac Marathon) and *heaps* of games. I have *no* pirated software. Your point

- I know exactly the situation with the Amiga. Would you believe I've owned one
- for eight years? Longer than you, I'd imagine, and I've poured several
- thousand dollars into them.
-
- Please don't imagine you know my situation. I'm in a country with virtually
- *no* Amiga hardware or software available. There are *three* Amiga dealers in
- my city, the second largest in Australia (about 2.5 million people).
