- Sure, but your posting was written in English and therefore is open to
- interpretation. You wrote it intending to mean there is no CD-ROM software nor
- good productivity software available, but an equally plausible interpretation
- is there is no CD-ROM available nor good productivity software available. These
- people were disputing the second interpretation as both premises are incorrect.
- There is some software available for the Amiga on CD-ROM, but it's limited and
- some is known to only work on AmigaDOS 1.3 versions of CDTV. This too may change
- with the availability of the A570/A670, and the inclusion of CDROM on future
- Amigas.
