Yegads.  I know Amigans hate the Apple software base.  For that matter I agree
save for some programs that software companies WON'T produce for the Amiga
that I would like to run.  These are Infocom's Comicbook style stories and
Mecca's Managing Your Money.  I'd rather have access to the Apple software
base then the C= machines any day.

The fact that an Apple or C-64 would cost less then a bridgecard wasn't the
point.  I have had computers spread across my table tops and it isn't space
effective.  I am not trying to make an argument of this but I don't understand
why it would not be a great seller if the Amiga could run Apples sofware base
just like we can run the IBM PC base?  Perhaps I should settle for IBM's base?
