No more cinemaware?!?  This is a shock!  The last couple of interviews I read
with Bob Jacobs(?) gave the impression that he is 100% Amiga commited.  I
thought they were on the right track.  They have some of my money (TV sports
football, Rocket Ranger) and were about to get some more(The Kristal).  If
this is true, this is a VERY bad sign.  Images of Atari are starting to dance
in my head....
