- Jesus... so I guess that programming languages, text editors,
- AmigaTeX, Real 3D and others are not productivity software. Oh Jesus,
- then I guess they're games.

- Yes, and this is exactly how I and they other guy understood it. Then
- you started whining. There are loads of Amiga CD-ROM drives - they're
- just not called Amiga CD-ROm drives as uyou can hook them to PC's too.
- With SCSI. Did it get too complex for you?
- What is productivity software n your opinion? Just word
- processors and spreadsheets, I guess. I don't think you mean databases
- as we do have several different Superbase-versions. WordWorth and
- Finalcopy are pretty good text editorts, probably not as good as MS
- Word for Windows, but good enough for 99% of users. This 99% does not
- include you, I know. Then there are ProCalc (never seen) and Maxiplan
- spreadsheets - probably not too good ones, but porobably not too lousy
- either. 99% of computer users don't use spreadsheets. You do.

- Corection: no software with label MicroSloth. And then there's no
- Intel inside either. Cygnus ED professional is exellent, Exellence is
- told to be pretty good, as is WordWorth 2, Real 3D 2.0 is really good,
- and so on, but none of these qualifies as productivity software as
- they're for Amiga.
