Be nice, but no.

Give the man a cigar. Yes, this is what I want to do. To be precise, I want
to run UNIX *under* AmigaDOS. I want a real-time UNIX. This technology has
been demonstrated (BSD under Mach, for example) and I believe that everything
UNIX needs is provided by AmigaDOS.

Maybe, maybe not. But within a few months of introduction, if chip prices
fall the way they usually do, a 386 clone + UNIX will definitely be cheaper.
Quantity, quantity, quantity.

You should be spending your resources on stuff that Only The Amiga (tm) can
do.

Information. We want... Information. You are number 6.

I want something so revolutionary that it will bring the Amiga back to the
front of the pack. It's like a drag-racer... it was way ahead at first, but it's
beginning to run out of gas and the bad guys on their mopeds are catching up.
