  Dave Haynie demoed Amix at a local user's group meeting the other night.
He said they are committed to getting X running under Amix, but that it is
not clear who will do it (obviously they'd like Dale to do it, but that
apparently hasn't been settled). 

  Overall I was not that impressed with Amix, though I was very impressed
with the A2500. Wish all this UNIX effort was going into 1.4. Sigh.
