- This happens for alot of computer systems, not just commodore. Look at
- IBM -- They have thier new multi-tasking (sort of) dos, but for ANYTHING
- AT ALL to work with it (window type applications) you MUST have the
- windows version of the program. At least with the amiga and C='s new
- OS2.04, some of the stuff works in both 1.3 and 2.0.
-
- I would have to commend Commodore on how they worked on 2.0. It was one
- of the best things they have done since bringing out the Amiga! You cant
- put blame on them for wanted to make thier machine better, and it is
- unquestionable that they have succeded with that in 2.04 OS..
-
- I still feel that the Amiga is the best machine on the market (for the
- price - for $10,000 dollars, I dont know if I would choose an amiga or not
- :) but you get the idea.

- (Dont take this as a FLAME -- its not!)
