- For chrissakes, Greg, what do you want? What do ALL you people want
- who thing VIScorp is going to bury the Amiga? Carl's been with it
- since the beginning. He's flat out said in this newsgroup that
- they are ALL Amiga people at VIScorp. "Not really been linked

- Carl wrote the multitasking kernal. How much more positively
- linked do you want to get?

- The last time I bothered to check, a small company in Germany
- was producing Amigas and selling them. Did I dream this?
-
- I, for one, will firmly stand behind VIScorp and cheer them on.
- I suggest, if you wish to see the Amiga carry on and grow to
- new heights, you do the same.
-
- What boggles my mind are the people who post to this group, who
- seem to be ready at a moment's notice to proclaim the Amiga dead,
- and whoever owns her to be incompetant.
-
- Get a grip. Either you WANT the platform to survive, or you don't.
- If you don't, then buy another machine and knock yerself out.
- But if you do, at least pretend to appear to try to support
- the company(ies) who are keeping her alive.
