- I think this is a good thing, since the question whether Amiga can compete
- with Apple is less important than the question whether any other platform is
- going to survive next to Intel + MicroSoft. For the same reason Apple's
- good fortune is important; the Amiga can only benefit from Apple's existence
- and their PPC support. I would much more like to see Apple having a huge
- market share and Amiga Technologies maybe 10%, than Intel+MS having 95+%,
- Apple gone and the Amiga dying..
