- Using the word "undercut" as you have is the most stupid statement I have
- seen from you Jason. In the past I have respected your opinions on Amiga
- matters as well as your interest in promoting Amiga information. However
- indicating that SoftWood would "undercut Amiga users" shows a complete
- lack of thought.
-
- SoftWood is not undercutting Amiga users, but is trying to stay in
- business. We feed our Amiga habit as best we can. If it were a perfect
- world, we would never have to look beyond the Amiga to pay our bills. As
- it is, this is just not possible.
-
- If anything is undercutting the Amiga user it is a statement like yours.
- Why would you want to hurt with your words one of the few Amiga developers
- that have stuck with the Amiga over the past two years? I am very
- surprised and disappointed to see you make statements like this. While
- you may go on record as stating your belief, I think you will discredit
- yourself in doing so.
