- The entire AGA/CISC line is a "dead line to meet" for Amiga
- Technologies. Don't expect any significant improvments or changes in the
- OS before things move to RISC. Using MUI is a good way to get short-term
- gains without a heck of a lot of programming to do on what will soon be a
- dead OS (CISC OS 3.1). I'd be surprised if they continue to update the
- CISC OS when the RISC boxes start shipping. The only reason that Apple
- kept on developing for their CISC machines was because they were (and are
- I guess) still selling a few. By the time AT starts shipping RISCs, it
- won't really be viable to have a CISC machine in the lineup.
