I wouldn't mind seeing AIX, or any Unix variant, take over.  But the people in
Redmond have decreed that OS/2 is the future for business computing....whether
we agree or whether we like it, it means OS/2 is what we will be forced to
make comparisons with...

Would the AT Bridgeboard still work if Unix replaced AmigaDOS on the Amiga
side?  Amix DOES take over the machine, right?  I don't have a Bridgeboard (yet)
and I obviously don't have Amix...but I would be interested to hear about
this.  I would also be interested in  hearing about the odds of getting OS/2
to run on a Bridgeboard...I know it would be slow, but if I could get some
OS/2 stuff done at home, it'd mean more time for playing with the Amiga! :)
