Then they bloody well better make the same basic system available without the
"commitment" BS. As of now the only way to develop software for the AMIGA seems
to be to become a "developer". This is ridiculous. Speaking of apple: remember
how much stuff has been written for the // by hobbyists? Remember how much all
that software helps sell apple's machines? If they were serious about making
this a popular machine they would *at the very least* have supplied an assembler
with the box. Just because IBM didn't doesn't mean it's not a good idea.
