I am sorry Mr. Chang for my myopic view of Scala and the Amiga. Don't
get me wrong. I enjoy Scala and think that it is a wonderful program. I
really don't like using PC's, but as we know, the world doen't run on
Amiga's. Watching all the Amiga developers disappear over the last 9yrs
(for me) is not positive. I have an Opalvision board that served me
well, but no modules. I also bought it because a Scala rep told me at
the last WOA in NY, that it would be supported. Nothing. Now, MM400
will be the last upgrade for the Amiga as we know it. With Viscorp in
the picture now, who knows what will happen. Scala is in the business
to make money. I have no problem with that at all. But that still
doesn't change the way I feel about being someone that has supported
Scala and now will be basically abandoned.
