- I thought about this. If we really do not care to move to another
- platform and would like to stick around the Atari world, we might want
- to try this...
-
- Find out the BEST music/desktop publishing software for the Macintosh.
-
- Find out the BEST video/graphics software and hardware for the Amiga.
-
- Find out the BEST entertainment software for the IBM compat. & Amiga.
-
- We then make a list of all the software that we would like to
- see on the ST and/or Falcon.
-
- Then we hit these companies with letters one by one.
-
- This way, we can upgrade to a Falcon (goodness know I'm ready) WITHOUT
- having to buy all new software. I have a lot of great software
- for my ST that (according to the rumors) should work with the rumored
- Falcon 030 computer.
-
- But yes, you are right. We should get a list of software/hardware
- companies and what each of them produce.

- >Any more ideas?
- Not for now...
