- while theoretically I agree but is it feasible?.AT are pretty busy making the
- PPC range of Amigas.If they want to enter the software market they should
- commision companies to produce versions of there software for the Amiga.
-
- BTW does anyone know who AT are talking about when they say companies that
- have never made for Amiga before will be releasing Amiga versions?

-
- but the Be market is very small compared to the Amiga shareware market. Maybe
- AT should "sponsor" a certain program or developer to keep them upgrading
- there software and releasing it as freeware.Although only the best and most
- important shareware programs would fit under this banner eg. ReOrg, AIBB, and
- some of the internet software.
