OK, here's my $.02 worth. I tend to agree with Leo and Chuck. Let Sun license the Amiga port of NeWS to somebody... Ameristar would seem to be a good candidate as they are already supporting network stuff on the Amiga. Then those people who want NeWS can get it from somebody who will presumably support it, Sun gets the piece of the action that they're entitled to and everybody is happy (hopefully!) Sun, Ameristar, are you guys listening?
