- I say this not to criticize Mark or anyone else's enthusiasm, but let's
- not get too carried away. The "good ol' days" of the Amiga always hoped
- for the future to be better. Now, it seems that a lot of people want
- to return to the past.
-
- My point is that the folks at Apple, and even PC developers, know that
- their machines have a limited future. The Amiga is no different. I'd
- love to see the Amiga thrive in the market place but in reality I only
- care about what the machine does for me.
-
- I want new versions of SAS/C, ADPro, T-Rexx, SCALA, SBasePro4, ProPage,
- ProCalc, ProDraw, Studio16, and more!!! Most, many, or all of these will
- never exist again and I'll continue to use what I have until something
- else makes it worth my while to switch.
-
- I bought my first, second, third, and fourth Amigas because I evaluated
- the other systems (hardware, operating system, and software) and decided
- that the Amiga was the superior platform for the cost. Well, now more
- than ever, I need a machine that will help me earn a living. Unless I
- happen upon a Flyer and 3 9Gb hard drives, it's difficult to see the
- Amiga as that machine.
