  17.     Marc, when will you learn to qualify your sentences instead of
  18. making sweeping, false generalizations?
  19.  
  20.     You mean that there is "no really good productivity software" FOR
  21. *YOUR* PURPOSES.  Whatever they may be.  Other people use the Amiga
  22. productively just fine.  If there is no good productivity software, then
  23. please explain how computer professionals have used Amigas for work
  24. consistently for years and years and still enjoy it.  (I know plenty
  25. of them.)
  26.  
  27.     Face it -- you bought the wrong computer, and you have nothing
  28. better to do with your time than complain about it.  Four years of
  29. complaining... that's a lot of time and effort.  You must enjoy it.
  30.  
  31.     Anybody with sense, rather than sitting around complaining, would
  32. have moved on to another computer years ago.
  33.
