- I am still 100% behind the Amiga. I also want to survive while the Amiga
- is being reborn. Do not mistake a Win95 version of FW as an indication
- that SoftWood does not believe in the Amiga! This probably is what upsets

- heart and what I believe in. When people imply that I am suddenly turning
- to the dark side leaving the Amiga behind, that upsets me.
