- But ! the PC is catching up fast, and why shouldn't it ! the Amiga has
- effectively been out of the running for almost a year now. The Amiga
- has a lot to offer in respect of easy internet access to the masses
- because of its ability for easy multi-tasking with limited resources,
- ie ram/storage, with a good GUI.

- sophistication/felixiblity go hand in hand. Then again what's the use
- if you can't get it to work ! Real flexibilty should provide the option
- of using something different for sending/receving email etc. Which it
- doesn't, it still requires external programs for this. It has its own
- editor, why didn't it include smtp/pop daemons !?
