- Hadn't heard that. Last word I heard on the grapevine was that NewTek will
- cease selling "Toaster Workstations" as soon as those currently in the
- pipeline are shipped. Not sure what this means but it sounds as if NewTek
- is getting out of the business of selling Amigas altogether.

- I don't think that applies to this case. Wasn't NewTek selling A2000s
- directly to customers? Did they ever sell the "Toaster Workstations" to
- resellers? Many manufacturers with weak products resent having stronger
- products demonstarted in the same viscinity as their products. An A3000
- shown doing it's thing next to lesser machines, for eample. Not too many
- Macs, clones, and Amigas are sold from a single computer store. Come to
- think of it, I've never seen such a retail combo. How come? Because
- someone doesn't want that to happen. I wonder who that could be? ;-)
