John, JM>If the Amiga were to fall into the hands of a real computer company — JM>one that advertises, for example — it could be one of the most JM>devastating forces in human history. JM>Oops! [religeous fantasy mode off] Through the history of technology, there is a common thread which USUALLY tends to eventually meld diversity for the advantage of all (one very notable exception which touches many is the BETA – VHS flap, an aberration or just a time-out?) It is time for the beginning of the melding (tho not necessarily to be confused with the Vulcan mind variety) of computer systems so that any properly written software can run equally well on any machine. This is shortly to be a fact with the Emplant and the Amiga. If a heads-up company were to recognize that this meld will come eventually anyway, and see the great chance which is now presenting itself, they would bust their humps to acquire Amiga technology and make a bee line to Jim Drew (Emplant) to put all into their camp. We can only hope that this is what we are witnessing. A moment, please, of silent prayer for Gould, Ali, Haig to find green pastures elsewhere.
