Loren! Long time, no see!
You mentioned "freezing any ruther developement on Amiga… recommending
Mess-DOS…." Did you know that MS-DOS was bought from Seattle Computing
Products, who called their (rather basic) DOS "QDOS?" It stood for "Quick
and Dirty Operating System." MS doesn't publicize this much.
CBM is a company in constant transition. Perhaps now, in multimedia, they
have found their niche. It's a pity that mm hasn't found its way into
widespread business use a la spreadsheets, word processors, et al, and
frankly, I doubt it ever will.
I would have to venture that CBM has cut themselves out of the "business"
market in favor of a niche where they have a chance to become a contender.
After all, why compete with IBM, Compaq, Dell, etc, etc, etc?
