I am sure hoping that Emplant is a success.  And I'd think anyone interested
in the succes of Amiga feels the same.

You have to admit that UU's strategy of using the net to launch and maybe
debug Emplant is a good idea.  It would have costs thousands of dollars
and taken months to test Emplant with all of the various boards and hard
drives out there.  I am not so sure that it was the intent of UU to use
net readers as beta testors.  I'd guess that most of their problems stem
from enthusiasm and expectations-too-high.  But they seem like typical
Amiga people. ...people who just love computers and like Amiga because
of it's superior design and capabilities.  And Emplant will be good for
all other Amiga users since it will greatly extend the power of Amiga
computers and enhance their maketability.

My hope is that netters help UU out in getting Emplant to fly and in
return that UU get on with the 386/486 emulation and keeps the price of
emplant down.  There's no substitute for positive thinking and good will.
