To quit or not to quit? That is the question. Unfortunately, I think it is going to be hard to place Amigas in laboratories. As a Unix workstation – maybe, but as a data collection/crunching device for GC/HPLC? Most lab people feel more comfortable with the PC. Even at the place I work, everyone has a Mac on thier desk, but PCs in the lab. How, I wish the Amiga could gain a solid footing in the lab. Your software would have to be a major evolutionary step (a la Toaster) for the science community to take the Amiga seriously. Now, if your AI software could be used in other markets besides the sciences, such as market forcasting, medical diagnositcs, communication trouble shooting, You know, have the system be a general front end that could be customized to a variety of problems, then I would say, Quit! Work on it full time. But, make sure that the Amiga provides something unique that the Dos/Mac worlds could not easily copy.
