- It is nice to program an Amiga, and programmers that have came in touch
- with our computer like it!
- And a lot of people, not beeing a programmer (I wasn't for sure, some

- Until Amiga will be interesting from the commercial point of view, there
- will be someone selling programs for it... I don't think who uses
- WinWord on clones, will became a programmer if Bill Gates gives up!
-
- And this for expert user too: it is tedious to program on Windows
- (but I have only a small experience with it)
