What I really wanted to say is that IN MY OPINION, the Amiga lacks a clearly
defined user interface. I also have to admit that I've hardly used the Amiga.
Therefore my views are suspect, and I admit it, biased.

From what I've heard about programming the Amiga, I would say that either
argument is nitpicking. On the whole, programming both machines is roughly
the same complexity. Nevertheless, I don't see why both machines couldn't
use the skeleton program idea.  This would get rid of the problems for both
machines.
