So you're trying to tell me that when the Amiga was introduced with
graphics a standard on the machine and 8 bit 4 channel true stereo sound
and could multitask on 256K RAM which was well beyond IBM/compat standard
technology at the time at a cheaper price, that it had NO influence in
the them investing in R&D to get equal and better technology, I just
have to sit back and laugh at your logic.

Shame on you Dan!  Don't you know it is not politically correct to call

Byte Orders", not the bad old term "Endians".

Four little, five little, six little Native Byte Orders,
Seven little, eight little, nine little Native Byte Orders,
Ten little Native Byte Order persons!

You can hide a window, or you can minimize it.  I think Intuition is

A 68030 is more advanced then a 386 (unless it's like a 40).  And VGA
is out of date.  OS/2 is *DEFINATELY* not for old computers.  IBM
intends you to install it on computers you are buying now.  They know
they can't expect a big chunk of today's market.  But on tomorrows VESA
32 bit local bus with graphics coprocessing, you'll see real sparks.

Just like an Amiga only cheaper, DOS/windows compatible and with huge
industry hardware and software support.

YOUR claim was that people thought that computers hadn't changed their
primary focus in twenty years.  I responded that it is only in the last
ten that (or less) that the PC became a major word processing/DTP
force.  It may have been used before that (Unix was invented for
wordprocessing) but the wordprocessing industry was, for the most part
born with Wordstar and WordPerfect.  As such, it is still a relatively
young field.  And having used a few of the best, there is still room
for improvement.

You yourself have shown holes in Word, and I can find TREMENDOUS GAPING
HUGE holes in Chiwriter or TeX.  One day they will be integrated.  There
is still work to do...

In my experience it isn't the _vast_ majority. There's lots of material
that can be used although you usually have to convert file formats to
something that Amiga software understands.
The only 'retrieval' software you need is the ISO filesystem (aka AsimCDFS

"Multitasking VDM"? Oh, you're running them in a DOS emulator, then. They're
not written for OS/2. Ah, that explains it.

Eventually you will start getting some games written for OS/2, then maybe
you'll be able to do all this nice stuff we've been doing on our Amigas since

Like the fascinating Byte article from years ago, which displayed an Amiga
with the logo airbrushed off - "To preserve journalistic neutrality." 

..Never mind that on the facing page was a PC with the IBM logo prominently
displayed....

**SIGH**

I don't think it's true that IBM (and, by association, the major PC 3rd-party
companies..) doesn't know the Amiga exists. I think they will never acknowledge
its presence in their closed-minded little worlds, but it is there. And I think
the Amiga has played its part in the evolution of computing - fast, cheap 
multitasking, great sound, and the true development of the desktop video 
market. And if that is our small contribution to the computing community in
general, I for one am content.

Oddly enough, OS/2 2.0 does that to me me a whole lot more than AmigaDOS,
and my OS/2 machine has 8M of RAM and 31M of swap space. I'm not
