: But PC hardware prices drop like rocks so cost wont be factor soon. And
: again... IF the PA comes out and IF it sells enough where Scala would
: consider it.

Only time will answer this....I'm an optimist, and I'll work to make it 
happen, but I'm not stupid (IMHO) either.  At least if I ever am forced 
into an Intel platform, I'll be comfortable with 1 program ;)



: And I dont agree with the cross platform thing being a
: real problem... C= was the problem.

Oh, definitely....but not the only one - time is inexorable, and as the 
other platforms gained market share compatibility became desirable.  If 
in doubt, read the backlog of posts begging Softwood to add PC wp file 
capabilities.

But we've digressed. I admit you have a point, but like I said, I'm an 
optimist - I may be wrong occasionally, but I spend a higher percentage of 
my time happy than a pessimist (who only evers can fell vindicated, not 
happy.    :) 


: Sorry for feeling so pessimistic. I feel like the blue collar underpaid
: worker that sends his wife to college to get a good education and a
: good job. When she graduates, she finds a white collar worker and dumps
: the blue collar husband....


Well, good illustration, but I think the Amiga (and Scala) provided our 
education as opposed to the reverse...I hope to share my home with Amiga's 
for a long time yet tho'.

Regards,
Steve.
