Fat Lady!
Wayne,
I agree with 98% of what you have said. The big point that I am trying
to make is: for most of us the Amiga is not the cornerstone of our
business, it is a tool we use in order to conduct our business more
professionally. I may be a little different than most, I definetly depend
on my amiga for work, but it is not video or animation based, it is just
general computing stuff, my most used program is superbase, a word
prcessor ect. I do PLAY with the graphics, sound and animation. And that
is fun.
For me the entire Amiga market could evaporate off the face of the
earth and I would still be productively using my machine until it broke.
I DO depend on it to do the job it does though and it is not a hobby.
Your posts (as well as John Foust's) come across as excessively
negative, and it takes no imagination to run around and declare the sky is
falling. All the facts are not in yet, much of what has been said (even
by people who should be in the know) are rumors and guesses as to what is
going on. From the few facts that have presented themselves I do BELIEVE
something fishy is going with Commodore International, and we may not see
the end of the Amiga yet. BUT I am prepared for the worst and will make
my plans accordingly as the smoke clears and the dust settles. Just don't
start shoveling dirt on the Amiga yet.
