I am afraid I have jumped to too many conclusions too soon.  I now
see the benefits of having the Amiga run X11.  I also see that it
is not in the near future that Amiga will drop Intuition in favour
of WorkBench.  You speak wisely, Mr. Luck, when you say that I am
passing judgement too soon.  I am now anxious to see X11 running
on Amiga.  I hope you can get it going.  I realize that something
like this could sell tons of more Amigas too!  At my place of work
we use NFS and X11.  All of our work stations run off a file 
server.  If the Amiga could run X11, she too could be used at my
office.  Wow!  I didn't think that could be possible.  This means
that if Commodore plays its advertising correctly, they could convince
companies such as the one I work for to purchase a 5-7000 dollar
Amiga instead of a 15-25 thousand dollar HP or SUN.  This would
help sales in another way since many people could now have a machine 
at home just like the one at work!  _I_F_ Commodore plays its cards
right, we could have the next best thing to sliced bread.

Sorry that I was so quick to judge, I couldn't see the forest
through the trees.
