In a message on Friday 10-13-16 Roger Nelson said to Ed Vance:

Good morning Roger,

EV>HG> ..., but ZoneAlarm, nor AVG did inform me about an incoming

RN> All you have to do for that is change your upgrade settings; i.e.,

Yes I know, but I haven't found that setting, even though I have tried.

Today came another upgrade, and I could read the report of what it had
upgraded. Nothing alarming there.

I agree, my GS had one, and there is still an Amiga DOS manual on the
bookshelf.

The reason why nobody wrote programs for it, was that it was considered
to be only a game machine, as were the earlier Commodores.

There were in fact a few (a couple ?) office programs written for it,
but the Amiga never took off.

If it had, even OS/2 would have been superfluos. It was that capable.


Have a nice day,

Holger
