- Yeah, my conscience keeps saying "PC sucks, PC sucks." Clue in.
- Companies that write progs for PC & Mac don't write it for Amiga either
- because they don't KNOW about the Amiga (not too likely) or they feel
- that PC and Mac are THE business computers and don't want to take the
- time to write an Amiga port.

- Every serious software company know about every possible platform. That's their
- business, selling software. Software companies do not evaluate platforms, they
- consider whether it would give them more money to sell their product on a given
- platform than it would take to develop, support and advertise it for that
- platform. Believe me, Word Perfect Corporation would make a Sega Genesis port
- of their well known word processing software, if the Sega Genesis had a proper
- keyboard and mass media, and they'd think it would be sold.
