This is a shame, but things are changing. Thats right. And LET'S NOT FORGET how unbelievably long it was before there was enough software to make the Mac a viable machine. Oh, the promises the software writers made and broke again and again and again. I believe the Amiga has done much better in terms of software/time in general and with availability on promised dates. How conveniently Mac owners forget the Mac software drought when touting their machine! *I* haven't forgot, for it was the reason I didn't buy a Mac (that and the fact that the Mac doesn't have color). Before Mac owners start flapping their jaws in this group, they should: 1) Get their facts straight. 2) Not forget their own dark history.
