- Earlier today I sent the following message to Carl Sassenrath, Director of
- Software for VISCorp, and attached is his reply. For those of you who
- don't know who Carl is, well if you have ever wondered why the Amiga OS is
- so efficient, he is a big reason why. You can call him the "Father of
- Exec".

- John,
-
- What I have been telling people is not to worry. We are all Amiga lovers
- here. Unlike ESCOM or even Commodore, VIScorp does not have a single IBM
- PC person in the development group. We are all solid Amigans from the
- very beginning. Personally speaking, I don't plan on killing the Amiga.
- In fact, I'm hoping to build one killer Amiga!

- Carl Sassenrath
- Director of Software, VIScorp
-
- PS: Please post this anywhere and everywhere, as I am getting swamped with
- the same email question from so many dedicated Amigans! Keep the faith!
- This is for the better!

- ------------------
-
- So there you have it. The only question is whether or not VISCorp has the
- resources ($$$) to make Carl's "Killer Amiga" a reality. Sure hope so!
