If I find software I usually grab it. Of course around here you rarely
find any, and I've had better luck finding 8" CP/M stuff than I've had
finding
Apple // or C-64 stuff. Of course I've dug up tons of Amiga software, but
then a lot of it I've gotten new since I got my first Amiga a little over a
year ago.

I look at it this way, what good is the hardware if you don't have at least
one piece of software to run on it. Of course OS's are what I really like
:^) Who needs some lame application or game when you've got a really cool
OS :^) The perfect example, OS/2 is a seriously cool OS, but every app I
ever bought was seriously lame.
