Whoah! Reality check here!  Did you really mean _Release 4.0_ ?   4? Four?
F-O-U-R?  Pardon my incredulous look, but this would be too cool.  Did you
see the system running ?  Are there any surprising details to note?  Folks
in the Atari group (while lamenting vaporware products from Atari) have been
implying that Unix on the Amiga is a vaporware product.  Looks like we are
getting very close to reality with Amiga Unix.  Very exciting!

Note: I do not share the opinion that Amix has been a vaporware product.
IMHO Commodore has done a great job of restricting product announcements to
items which were available in a reasonable time frame.  Great job, guys!
