- Now I resent that remark! I personally would love to buy and use and Amiga
- but due to fate, all the software I HAVE to and WANT to run is on the IBM.

- Considering all the drawbacks that the IBM and windows and dos has, I think
- that the average pc user has to learn more about computers.
- Amiga is a surperior computer but don't belittle those who don't own one.
