- I for one want to thank both SCALA and John Chang for their CONTINUED support o
- f both the Amiga platform, and those of us who use it professionally on a
- regular basis. At a time when most developers were bailing out, SCALA came out
- with MM400, a MAJOR upgrade of their already outstanding product. They've
- always been ultra responsive, either on phone or right here in this forum, for
- my requests for either information or help. It would be a great loss, to me,
- to see their participation here dry up because of the comments of a few
- cynics and pessimists. My response to pundits who predict the future with smug
- cynicism, John, is to ignore them. They're not the ones who make change
- happen; they view mistakes as failure, while the rest of us...well, Edison made
- over 100 attempts at making the lightbulb before he got it right. A reporter
- asked him how it felt to fail over 1000 times. Edison's astonished reply was
- "What do you mean fail? We simply learned over a thousand ways not to make a
- light bulb!" 'Nuff said. John, et. al., keep up the great work, and please
- don't go away
-
- Jim Wilde, running SCALA on a 1200, 4000, and CD32/SX-1 for classrooms, confere
- nces, seminars, congressmen, and for economic and social development...I walk
- the walk, not talk the talk.
