Because Amiga are nothing, minute, compared to the likes of Sony.
Amiga needs all the help & customer loyalty it can muster. It has not
produced anything new yet & as far as I'm concerned I will take it all
with a pinch of salt until something new & radical arrives in the
shops. Amiga is not the only company with big ideas & if they are not
careful they will be usurped by a better product by someone else.
Does anyone remember the tv advert (Microsoft?) & the parachute that
was boing coloured? (IRC) I hope it appears again, I'd ROFL
