-
- I got an answer to that: he bought PowerPC and now tries to find the reason
- why he'd done it. He is a lost soul, so leave him with(one) peace ;)

- Now, about the topic: I belive that 'Walker' >is< the right step. Sure
- it is a small step but what would you expect from such a small company
- and such a big mess CBM left. This 'project' gives AT hands on
- satistics of the manpower and time required to bring PowerPC Amiga on
- time(By now, they should at least know that preparing for development
- support requires more time than it was first anticipated ;). Also it is the
- first time they are required to really understand how Amiga works- in
- order to debug their design- even if the new features sound more like
- patches and hacks.
-
- For us, users, it means that AT is serious about reviving Amiga.
-
- BTW, there is a lot of talk on what new Amiga needs but I belive that no one
- mentioned analog joystick port as a standard. Does nobody play
- Gunship2000 or FighterDuelPro?
