Perhaps he doesn't want to work with Intel stuff?  Perhaps his
managers want him to forge ahead with the Amiga line instead of
working with the excess baggage :-).  I don't know, I'm just happy
with what he's done so far.

Just because the person who designed parts of our favorite computer
happens to be on the net doesn't mean we can tell him what to do!  I'm
not flaming at Lee, and I hope it doesn't sound that way.  It's just
that those who put "Are you listening, Commodore?" or "Hey, Dave H.!!
are you listening?" in their posts aren't treating the *privilege* of
having people from C/A and CATS on usenet as a privilege.  (Shouting
"Hey, Dave H.!" might be more reasonable when asking questions about
one of his PD utilities, though).  Let's remember they don't have to
be here, and try not to expect more out of them than ordinary usenet
members.  If we get more from them than that, it's more frosting on
the cake.

Thank you, Dave Haynie, for being a contributing member of usenet.
