If you kept in close contact with the newsgroups you would of seen the nice
reply I received from Carl at Viscorp.  You said that Lee Gibson from Optonica
said that Optonica has not gone bankrupt - well I'm afraid he seems to be
telling some big porky pies.  And no I am not stupid I just like to get the
facts right.  There is more to this story than meets the eye...

Hi there Carl,

Thankyou for replying so promptly to my mail.  I've heard from Optonica and
they have clarified the story a little bit and I think my friend was a little
over zealous I think losing his job.  I did not wish to tarten the good image of
Viscorp and indeed the Amiga, but it was a little worrying when I was told
about it.

Anyway I'm sure you have hundreds of mails every day from Amiga users etc, so
I'll keep this one short! and basically would like to wish you every success
and congratulations on purchasing one of the best Operating Systems I have
played around with.  In other words 'A wolf in sheeps clothing' and hopefully
soon 'A wolf in wolfs clothing!'

Yours sincerely,

Paul Brown
