Excellent!!!! I think the fact the Mr. Dilullo is trying to clear up the ever so rise in the Amiga community disgust with C-> if fantastic… I have several questions: Q. We have seen in the market the proliferation of O/Ses that can run on several platforms (ie. Windows NT, NextStep, UNIX). While C=> is licensing chip technology to HP, shouldn't it also consider marketing the AmigaOS the way Apple has the System 7? How about the possibility of making the AmigaOS open (ala Unix) while setting some standards (sort of like the X/OPEN consortium)? Q. If the faith of the Amiga is to become a hybrid platform (running several O/S at the same time … like IBM/Mac) as some mention of the possibility of running NT on top of AmigaOS (or the other way around), shouldn't C=> put some focus back into Bridgeboard/Amiga interoperability back again? How about the possibility of transparent access to IBM ports and devices from the Amiga side and viceversa. As it stands, the Mac nows performs this function better with some recent IBM on card introductions? Sorry for the long questions, but you get my drift… I hope!!! ;-^)>
