A compelling media layer is only compelling if you've not seen anything
like it before.

But you do realise that in today's world and in the future market, ther are
more than a few companies doing things that surpass Amiga's in terms of
technical and marketing terms.

In fact, Amiga's business model smacks of Microsoft's .NET strategy: the
whole "it's not running on the system in your hand" thing. The "home
server", the "thin client" and the "portable application framework".

The only people that don't see this are the Amiga Faithful, the people
who are buying $100 developer kits for a PC they don't own to get
$100 off some hardware they really want to.. and with stupidity like
that around, who needs competition to drive your company into the
dirt?

Thanks
