- I got one of the first Amigas, back in 1985. I have had them ever since. No one
- wants them to continue any more than I do, but sooo many people are making
- irrational judgements about what they read. I read what is there, and wait.
- Yelling and screaming at your (possible) saviors doesn't help.
-
- I've said it before and I'll probably say it again. The sky is not falling, and
- we will all live through this no matter what happens.

-
- If the company didn't know about the HUGH debt then they just screwed up. that
- is another thing entirely.

-
- Everyone wants their Amigas to continue, but then most people think that the
- "chipset" way should be scrapped for standard SVGA. Maybe a PPCP compliant
- machine. But, with a PPCP compliant machine the only differance between it and a
- PPCP compliant MAC or BE Box will be the name on the front of the box, and maybe
- the icon on the specail keyboard keys.
-
- You all seem to want your Amiga and MAC clone all in one box. You can only have
- it both ways if you have both, PPCP compliance AND the chipset as a superset of
- PPCP.
-
- Make up your minds.
