[Oberon] Amiga OS and Oberon

[Aubrey.McIntosh at Alumni.UTexas.Net]

My brother in law is a graphic artist.  When the machine came out, I
recommended that he go see one.  He bought it immediately.  There was a
very loyal following of the machine among graphic artists for a long time.
 It was a tool of the trade, not a novelty or luxury.
