Excerpted from the Nov. 28, 1988 issue of InfoWorld, in Notes 
from The Field, Robert X. Cringely's rumor section:

"AMIGUS, AMIGA, AMIGO

There is always a black sheep or two, and our family has Uncle 
Murray and me. Murray is a kind of suburban mountain man who 
taught me as a child to recognize and follow the tracks of 
many animals -- foxes, deer, women. "Tell us about this job 
of yours, Bobby," Uncle Murray leered, draping his arm all too
comfortably around Pammy.

So I told them about WordPerfect 6.0 for OS/2, which will be
ported from 6.0 for the *Commodore Amiga*. It seems that the
Amiga operating system is the favored multitasker for WordPerfect
programmers, who wrote WP 4.1 from scratch for the Amiga after
the company had given up on a DOS port and sold the development
machines to the programmers for home use"

Enjoy.
