	After much deliberation we developed the following profiles of the average reader: a current Amiga developer working alone or with one partner; a developer from another platform who would like to develop for the Amiga; a first-time developer; a graphic artist designing a user interace for a developer; a team of developers working for a medium-sized company...the list goes on.

	So our intention was to write a manual that introduced the Amiga from basics - in terms a non-technical reader could understand. The GUI sections were especially targeted for the layman. Other sections, such as the ARexx ~~chapter~~, were structured more like reference guides since they will likely be used by readers with more of a technical background.
