- Rumors about this German-written virtual memory system have been filtering
- around the net for over a year, but nothing solid ever seems to come about
- from it. For all the rumors and good reports from German Amiga users, the
- thing remains totally vaporware for anybody outside of Europe. If this thing
- really does exist and works as advertized, why doesn't the company at least
- develop a crippleware demo of the vmem system that can be freely distributed,
- as proof that it really exists? Until the company behind this product does
- something to show that this thing is not vaporware, I will remain solidly
- skeptical.
