Mr. Haynie, I greatly respect you for being there and sticking by the
Amiga for so long. I do know that companies exist to MAKE money. I also
dont really believe in being restricted to just 'one' thing. That is
why I also own a PC in addition to 3 Amiga's. I am using the PC right
now. But I do feel that unless the Power Amiga sells in very large
quantities and still offers the uniqueness that makes it the multimedia
platform that it is. That Scala will continue to market to the huge
based PC crowd. Even maybe look into the PowerMac. 

I have read about how great MM100 is, but will stay away from it for
the moment. Getting it to video for me right now is not a priority
since I have a Toasted Amiga and an Opaled/SuperGen Amiga for video.
But not hearing of any further upgrades of Scala on the Amiga side is
saddening. Waiting 1 1/2yrs or more for a PowerAmiga and THEN waiting
for Scala to consider programming for it, well, you can understand my
feelings.... and pessimistic outlook.
