Talk to Steve – He'll tell you al about it, I'm sure. As for CBM being there,
they shouldn't be – BIX/Byte did/does more to harm the Amiga than any other
force outside of IBM's marketing organization; support of BIX is like driving
coffin nails into your machine. You, of course, do as you see fit – but to
me, it's unethical. As far as BIX's message handling capabilities, they're
immaterial – it's like discussing the message handling capabilites of an
Apple/IBM marketing firms BBS – why use it anyway. Developers that use BIX
are paying Byte 10$/hour (or more, I don't know firsthand) to knock the Amiga
monthly. It's far worse than buying that raggy, lying, inaccurate mat of
IBM-boot-licking Apple pulp… they only get 4-5$, once a month, for that
trash… BIX, on the other hand, provides them with much more profit, while
putting forth a completely false image of "fairness". Byte is approximatly
the quality of the National Enquirer, IMHO. And BIX, by association. It's a
matter of ethics. –Ben–
