- Things are certainly better than they were even a month ago, but I'd

- Really? Where's your evidence. The only person I know at AT who was doing

- Don't worry - I don't intend to abandon the Amiga. If I didn't care about
- what was happening with the Amiga I'd have left back in 1994 when all the
- other developers started jumping ship. I've stuck with Amiga development
- for the last 9 years, I'm not going to drop it overnight without a very
- good reason. I'll be patient, yes. But faith is something you reserve for
- religeon, and I was never one for that...
