This is interesting, since Edge (a) is not an "IBM competitor", except
in the sense that anyone who makes computers of any size is an IBM
competitor (Edge is certainly not in the PC class); and (b) I see no
"fear of the real potential of the Amiga", only the understanding of just
how difficult it will be for ANY vendor ever to have a significant impact
in the desktop marketplace, expect with a clone.  Clearly, Amiga's best
chances are in niches which contain innovators, and which can take
advantage of Amiga's strong points, for example, imaging and animation.

Hans, you probably should understand the products on which you are
commenting (Edge's products) before commenting.
