- No. I am countering your lumping of development tools like text editors
- and programming languages with productivity software. You can't compare them
- at all.

- I stated that there is no Amiga CD-ROM or (good) productivity software
- available for the Amiga. Perhaps my qualifying productivity software with the
- word "good" confused people. I did this because the Amiga does have some
- productivity software available, but no really good productivity software
- available. Perhaps if I had stated "there is no CD-ROM or productivity
- software available for the Amiga", leaving out the word "good", it would
- have made more sense. But then people would have countered by naming apps
- like Final Copy which are productivity apps, but not very good productivity
- apps.
