Now, wait a minute, we as users (and the free fanatical advertisers
for CBM) have a great say in the future of the Amiga. After all
Apple went through the same rough time introducing their "new"
OS and it finally caught on. We ought to be able to do the same.

Commodore has two ways to go, either really goose up the desk top
video stuff so that the Amiga N000 isn't really useful to hacker
types (except for video hackers) or go complete compatability with
IBM _and_ MAC. Business types (and me too for that matter) like to
be able to use their old hardware and not have much hassle with
compatibility issues.

Let's face facts Amiga is cheap compared to these other systems, its
graphics are quite good, but IBM with proper HW and MAC II are better
in some areas. Amigas networking with MAC II's for a good cheap graphic
environment would be ideal for some applications.
