Hi

Let me tell you about my recent experience...

I am going on an Art & Design course at college in September and I
NEED to use a graphics tablet, I immediately thought of my miggy - how
could I use a top pressure sensitive Wacom Intuos on my amiga?  I
search the internet and find a piece of software called Tableau Pro
that H&G sell.  Problem is that it appears to only be sold in Germany.
OK thats not a problem I'll just contact Blittersoft (H&G UK
distributor) and ask them to get hold of it for me (I will NEVER order
anything abroad, why should I? I don't have a credit card anyway ;)

After 2 e-mails they reply and say yes, they can get hold of it, it
will cost me 68 quid including postage.  OK I thought, if I had a PC I
could get driver software for free with the GT but being a loyal amiga
owner I pledge the 68 quid and ask Blittersoft to get it for me.

Six weeks later I have not received it, I e-mail Blittersoft but they
don't reply (I suspect they only work on their amiga business 1 or 2
days a week.) So I am forced to write them a snail-mail and tell them
the order is off.  At this stage of the game amiga suppliers need to
give better service than PC suppliers at the very least to stop people
leaving the amiga!  The state of amiga software is a joke, essential
software that PC owners take for granted and often get for free
doesn't exist and we have to rely on individual users and hobbyist
programmers to supply us. Yeah, new Amiga hardware is plentiful but
without software what is the point?

This is what happens when I try to support amiga software!  Looks
like I'll have to use the GT on a PC...

I am getting a PC in the next week or so.  I will still use my miggy
though, mainly for the internet, I like the feel of Voyager, it's a
lot cleaner and faster than PC browsers and V3 should catch up a lot
of lost ground. Besides I NEED to play Quake on the net with a greater
screen size than a postage stamp!  I'm sick of getting my ass kicked
in Amiga Quake! :)

People can flame me if they want, I don't mind, I have less interest
in the amiga than what I had before.

PS This is my last off-topic on this list, sorry Ollie, I felt
compelled answer the recent messages.
