        Oooh... oh great and powerful Swami, bestow upon us your eternal
wisdom so we may achieve inner elightenment and realize what mere worms we
are in your presence.  Our eyes look up, but we see not.  Our ears stick
out, but we hear not.  Our tongues hang down, but we taste not.  And yet, in
the name of the Holy Cumquat of SEEDY RAHM, God of Unexploited Multimedia
Opportunities, we praise thy name and ask for your humble forgiveness and
back-issues of National Geographic featuring remote tribes who build statues
of you and make hourly sacrifices to your omniscient omnipresence.  Fear
not, simple people, for the true savior of Planet Earth, and maybe even
Iowa, walks among us and graces our unworthy souls with the true wisdom of
experience and strong hallucinogenics.  Bow, mortal, and* the
all-knowning toenails of his Extreme Regressiveness, lest ye be damned to
eternal torture and forced to read all of his postings all over again, in
triplicate.  So join me in everlasting prayer to the master of marketing,
the genius of ingenuousness, the most holy of hypocrites, THE ALL-FATHER OF
AMIGA FATE:

                "Our father, who art in Iowa,
                Hollow be thy head,
                Thy ideas run,
                Thy will be done,
                At Commodore as it is at Apple.
                Give us this day our daily stupid postings
                And lead us not into forbidden pastry shops
                Where we may discover cheese-filled tibits of dubious origin.
                Amen."

        Gee, gang... Marc used to be a developer!  One who never produced any
products, to my knowledge.  And he made a lot of, uh, "friends" at Commodore
too, from what I have heard.

   I KNEW when I posted that message that I should have clarified that point.
My first impulse after posting it was to cancel the message and re-post it,
but then I thought that most intelligent life forms would understand my
meaning.  I should have paid more attention to my first impulse.

   Anyway, I was talking about the developers of DataTax, DataMax I think was
their name.  The no longer publish Amiga software, and have explicity stated
why.  They feel that the Amiga market in the U.S. not nearly strong enough to
support a good tax perparation program.  Anyway, DataMax is the ex-Amiga-
developing company that I referred to.  I was not referring to myself.
