- Oh yes, they have some (PC) computer background. But yes, all Amiga specifics
- were (and mostly are still) new to them. In such a case it's the task of the
- reviewer (that's me) to correct misunderstandings by them before such a
- translation goes into print.

- Hmm, perhaps better the other way round. In the best of all worlds, you
- would have some genius who excels in all regards, but then this being
- wouldn't be payable by our company, and could perhaps do even more useful
- stuff within this company.
