The real point here is that PIOS machines aren't taking away from possible
AmigaOS sales!  They are offering an alternative to Apple Mac sales, not
Amiga sales...  Just as PowerComputing, UMAX, and SuperMac offer Mac clones,
so too does PIOS now.

I don't understand why this would suddenly entice Amiga people to purchase
Mac machines, when the availability of said Macs was previously garanteed
by four companies instead of five now.

Sheesh.
