Whether you used to work in the IT industry or not is pretty much
irrelevant. The fact is, the Amiga has been virtually deadą for at least five
years now, and without some pretty kick-ass marketing, it stands a very good
chance of staying that way.

How far has technology come in the last, say, 150 years? 150 years ago, cars
weren't around (I don't think at least! ;) but now they dominate our lives.
Computers have not been around for long, comparatively.

Technology is FAR different from black text on white paper (or tea-brown
paper in the case of the Bible :) and you can't say "Look how long the Bible
has lasted!" and expect the same "analogy", if it can be called one, to hold
water. Technology is ever changing - once a book is written, its written.

Its possible that the human race won't even make it to the year 3000! D'ya
ever think about that? ;)

Cheers,
GazChap.
