Ranting comes naturally when using Windows... AND especially MACs!
I have to bite my tongue every day when the MACs in our Lab do some
stupid thing that my Amiga would never allow...
However, there ARE some EXCELLENT programs on the Windows platform.
One of them that I actually have registered is one called VuePrint.
It is one of the few programs I wish could be ported over to the
Amiga. Ed Hamrick, the author, says he would consider it if the
sales could be worthwhile. He makes a living out of producing
this program!!!!
Anyone interested, check out:

Well worth the price of registering, cuz it is just killer for
editing graphics easily without really knowing what you are doing.
It also prints superbly!!!!!
I wish Voyager or any of the other Amiga browsers could figger
out how to get graphics to paper as well, SO easily!!!
