   Amiga users aren't dead yet, they're a Minority in the computer world.   
      
   Just like me, my Commodore 64 and 486 DOS/Win3.1 computers get turned   
   on once in a while to Run a program written for one of them.   
      
   There probably are a few Sinclair ZX-81's that see the light of day   
   once in a while.   
      
   I was in a store that sold and repaired Commodore computers when an   
   employee showed me how he could draw a scene by using the Mouse and a   
   Graphics program on a Amiga.   
      
   I watched as he made a Lake, and on the Shoreline he drew some Trees,   
   some Clouds in the Sky.   
   Next he highlighted the Trees along the Shoreline and the Sky,   
   and Flipped it and then used that as a "Reflected Image" on the Water   
   of the Lake.   
      
   It was a nice Demo but at the time I wasn't interested in buying one.   
      
   What I like about using a computer is that I can do a lot of different   
   things with it.   
      
   I call computers my "Multipurpose Machine".
