I'm not Ted nor an Worm_food owner ;-) (Jeeze I hope I don't start anything
with this IT'sJUST A JOKE!!!)

I have an AMIGA. I love it. BUT Good quality printouts for graphics AND text
(Fancy stuff like Gothic etc.) Can't be done well without getting some help
such as someone else's fonts. I think the AMIGA should have these built in.

It's kinda like buying a car, and inflatable tires cost extra.

This is true ONLY if they have not used multitasking machines to any
extent. (in MY opinion) I find that when I have to go to a non multitasking,
or multitasking windowless system things are painfully more tedious to do.

I'm not sure which I like better about the AMIGA -- the graphics or the
multitasking.
