In the supplement to the year-end issue of TV Technology, John Spofford contends that the Amiga is finished as a platform because its dealer network has dried up, replacement parts are nonexistent, etc. (I am condensing his thoughtful, well-reasoned argument). I immediately called my Amiga dealer, and while they corroborated the lack of parts for 4000 repairs, it was there feeling that Newtek would continue to support the platform. It was their belief that the sheer mass of Toaster users would keep the market going. Yes, I know we've all discussed this turf before, but I figured I'd bring it up again-with two Toasters myself, I figure there are others out there who are just as concerned when they read something like TVT's story.
