	This was presented in most Amiga magazines when 1.4 alpha
was revealed. Apparently there were no non-disclosure agreements
over the alpha as there were pictures of the screen in Amigo
Sentry and Amazing Computing. If you don't believe me take a look
at the Amazing Computing covering San Francisco DevCon. It had
two full pages listing everything they new about 1.4.
