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. -- Name: Peter da Silva Graphic: `-_-' UUCP: ...!shell!{graffiti,baylor}!peter IAEF: ...!kitty!baylor!peter
