Scala, like so many other Amiga developers, has gotten too full of 
themselves. They believe it was them, and not the Amiga, that was 
responsible for their success. If you ask me, they are trying really hard 
to go out of business by ignoring their roots and trying for the illusive 
and non-existant PC pot of gold. The PC community will respond by doing 
what it always does. It will almost completely ignore Scala because the 
PC community only buys what everyone else already has. New companies to
that platform rarely survive for long. It's a shame that we, the Amiga 
community will have to suffer the loss from yet another ego and greed 
based business decision.
