I think part of the problem we Amigaoids are having is that after years of loyal Amiga support from a fine company like NewTek, they suddenly decide that the name "Amiga" hurts their business. Hell, IBM's name was joke in workstation markets until the RS/6000 came out. Uh, never mind. :-) (Actually, I love the RS/6000 hardware, it's AIX 3.1.pay-to-beta-test-AIX that I usually whine about. :-) -- J.
