It's a very good thing that a deal could be struck.
When you consider that we will soon have AROS, AmigaOS 4, Morphos,
Amithlon and AmigaXL, the future of the Amiga in some form seems
assured. Even if one of the active parties should leave the scene, we
can keep going.
That means that there is no longer any risk in buying current Amiga
programs. You can invest in a copy of Pagestream or ProStation Audio
knowing you will be able to use it for years ahead.
