- They apparently replied to a posting. I never sent them any letters; I
- only posted a message to comp.sys.amiga.applications complaining about the
- total lack of tax preparation software for the Amiga. They replied, AGREEING
- that the Amiga user base in the U.S. could not support even one good tax
- preparation program.
-
- BTW, I am not the one who posted the letter. I re-posted it to .misc,
- though. It was originally posted somewhere else, and re-posted to
- .applications. So I guess I re-re-posted it. :-)
