John,
Although one or two readers have been upset about a PC version of Scala, I think it is indeed appropriate to post stuff here. Remember it is possible Amiga users of Scala will *eventually* become PC users, and being able to follow along with MM100 questions will give them a headstart. Also it is annoying to wade through all the lame MacroMedia questions etc in comp.multimedia. So while it is indeed *more* appropriate in comp.multimedia, it is not necessarily inappropriate to post those questions here.
