Gary, I agree. Rumor was flying around that VM might become a reality with the new OS once CBM finished AMIX. NOt that it would be present when 2.0 came out, but that it might be later on. The rumor seemed to suggest that as AMIX became a reality, so might VM. The unfortunate thing about the Amiga as a competitor with IBM and Mac is the lack of a substantial supply of very professional and highly polished software products with truly uniform user interfaces and full use of data interchange. This has only been a partial accomplishment. Most Amiga software is not as professional or extensive as the IBM or Mac counterparts. Data interchange has never been well established through the clipboard, as it is on the Mac. However, as time goes by, if the 3000 makes a real dent in the media market, then a growing user base should eventually solve these problems. Now it's truly difficult to make the Amiga a viable alternative for most business users, and that's where the big bucks are! Steve
