- Hopefully you're right. I think NT made a step in the right direction by
- including Screamernet in LW 4.0 Amiga. All along the reports were that it
- wouldn't be included. Maybe after meeting with AT NT decided that there
- is a glimmer of hope for the Amiga market, and including Snet was a show
- of support.

- I personally think it's very possible that someday I'll be able to buy an
- Amiga running a 300mhz, PPC 620. It'll probably be capable of running
- Amigados, Mac software & Windows NT right out of the box. Probably at the
- same time.
-
- There are advantages and disadvantages to all the platforms. I don't
- think there's anything wrong with using multiple platforms. In fact I
- think it's a necissity for me. To be able to run them on one box would be
- a real help.
