Nope. No 4000's. Got some 3000s and 2000s that I'll hold onto for a
while. I hope Scala is seriously looking at Intel or PowerPC
platforms as development areas. Irrelevant means that the machine
does not affect the marketplace. It does not imply anything about the
importance of the design or the forethought that the machine once
represented.
Tell me in a few more months if the Amiga has much relevence to
Scala's planI know people who would buy as many NeXT boxes as they
could, if they could. Is the NeXT relevent to the computing universe
in any way? Nope. Was it a brilliant machine? Yup. But its now
irellevent. As is CP/M, daisy wheel printers, 300 baud modems. All
brilliant examples of their technology, then. And absolutely
necessary for us to be where we are now. But they don't affect us any
more. What I've said is that the Amiga has moved into that category
of things.
