Interesting. AutoCad recently bought GenericCad. One of our
technologists is a GenericCad betatester. He also is an Amiga fan.
When asked about developing GenericCad for the Amiga, the factory
replied whith the statement : "The Amiga is too slow for Cad
applications." (Really!)

We have been in touch with the rep, explaining that this statement is
obviously incorrect & invited him to call Commodore for information
about the Amiga. I would also like to do a demo for the rep, but wish
someone better qualified would take up the task.
