We claimed no dates for 1.3 (outside the company) and failed to meet them. We've claimed no dates for 1.4 (outside the company). Letting developers know what we are doing is not the same as "promising 1.3 to Amiga Users". Or perhaps you equate us saying "We're working on 1.4 now" as the same as "We'll put 1.4 in your little hands tommorow." Well, its not. Welcome to reality, kid. Even with reactions like yours, I still prefer letting the development community know about the directions the system software is taking. Once again, we've made no promises on ship date for 1.4. If you think differently, you are confused. -- andy finkel {uunet|rutgers|amiga}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc.
