You didn't have too.... and yet you did!  Strange logic.

I think you can look at the above message and then understand why so
many Amiga people are the way they are.  You immediately start talking
about marketshare and downplay the Amiga because it doesn't have it.
I suspect that if you are talking 'multimedia' you might find that
the Amiga does have marketshare, though I don't have the numbers to
back the claim.

With a group like comp.multimedia, you _will_ hear about the Amiga.
Get used to it, it may open your formally closed eyes.  Amiga's and
Amiga owners are here to stay. :-)

The Amiga _does have_ very powerful multimedia capabilities.  That
is the undeniable truth.  Lets try to keep marketshare discussions
in the .advocacy groups.

On the other side,  I will have to read about Macromind on the Mac, 
and the wonders of the various pieces of software for the PC.  I,
as the rest of the amiga community should, keep an open mind.  
  
The point is...  be open to suggestion.  Marketshare has nothing to
do with capability, never has had anything to do with it, and it never
will.
