- There ae plenty of useful everyday apps that the market demands. Name some!
- The real thing is that if there isn't something to suit your need commercially
- there damn well is one to get shareware. Don't go thinking that shareware is
- a bad thing. Maybe on the Macs - there ae some pretty dire stuff out there
- for the Macs. The shareware on the Amiga *IS* commercial quality in many
- cases - Why? Because the Amiga attracts talented people!
