- This is a perfectly good excuse - but an excuse nonetheless.

- Here's my 0.02 $ analysis:
-
- a lot of former Amiga developers have hung on as long as they could,
- but they moved to Windows in the end. After these experiences, you
- shouldn't be surprised to see people thinking it's going to happen
- all over again. Your story, although perfectly credible, is basically
- no different from other companies. You will have to prove your loyalty
- again - and again. I have no doubt you'd like to. But since you have
- actively supported the competition by bringing out a free Windows95
- program (it can hardly be called a prime example of Amiga support),
- this is going to be very hard. I wish you good luck - you'll need it.
