However ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh, please, please, please say it's not so, Dave. All I hear around here is how A/UX *sucks*. Even people at Apple realise it's a joke; a hack whipped together to snag government contracts. I've been relying on the hope that AMIX will be a *truly* competitive UNIX package. If my comments are ignorant, forgive me. It just scares me to see AMIX compared to A/UX, after hearing the popular opinions of A/UX.
