- If we're going to squeeze every milligram of detail out of every word, let me
- just note here that there is a difference between "considering future models"
- and "considering building future models".
-
- Meaning that another, more optimistic interpretation does suggest itself--that
- individual product plans, not the entire concept of product plans, are being
- considered. For instance, VIScorp may decide to scrap the Walker (hey, that was
- just a for-instance! No, stop, don't flame me, pleaaase! NOOOOooooooo) but
- continue with the PowerAmiga, which I maintain would be a sensible move EVEN if
- it's just for network/set-top machines.
