Scala is an Excellent product for the Amiga. When I show what the Amiga
is capable of, the first program that I 'run' to is Scala. The "Time"
demo is excellent!!

Mr. Chang, we all have opinions and are, as you say entitled to them.
But when it comes to support for the Amiga, let's face it... it is
dwindling rapidly. As for support from Scala, I am sure that there will
be some support, but your programs are basically 'bug-free' on that
front. You might need to answer technical questions about doing certain
things within Scala, but will there be any more versions for the Amiga
after MM400? You might say that I am jumping to conclusions. You might
be right. How about telling me (us Amiga owners) some type of future
news outside of the PowerAmiga?  I can understand your excitement over
MM100, but it 'appears' to me that there really isnt mentioned anything
about the Amiga.

asked and presented how I felt. I didnt 'flame' you or anyone. I even
stated I saw nothing wrong with making a PC product. Business is
business. But saying that I felt that the Amiga would be left behind
(yes, you explained about Backbone and the Amiga. But remember, we ARE
talking about an Amiga, not a PC that required Scala to make an OS to
get the product to run) is what I get from reading your messages. There
were a few big "if's" in them and I would just like to have them
clarified. Not much to ask is it?
