- Are you sure that Dave Haynie is the one pushing for something more earth-
- shattering? From what I've seen, he seems to have led the charge towards stock
- off the shelf everything. Whenever it got down to specifics about chipsets and
- detailed architecture info, he always became suddenly rather vague though, so
- it's hard to say for sure. It sure didn't seem like he was the one pressing
- for anything custom and flashy though. Didn't he even go so extreme as to say
- stuff like the OS is the only thing that makes an Amiga an Amiga?
