- What, are you trying to deflate me because InterChange is always late? :-)

- Yes, I am considering folding back the Windows improvements into an
- Amiga release later this summer.

- My point about video cards is, the Amiga really wasn't designed for
- replacement video cards. The theory was there, the implementation
- wasn't. The fact that some Amiga video replacement cards exist,
- and make some people happy, doesn't change my opinion that the PC was
- designed for alternate video cards, and it continues to be, and that
- "standard" display adapters are available for $35 at the corner computer
- store. Yes, some PCs do come with video on the motherboard, but
- those are for suckers.

- When your Amiga video card dies and the company is out
- of business, what will you do? Buy another used card from the 'net?
