I for one want to thank both SCALA and John Chang for their CONTINUED support o f both the Amiga platform, and those of us who use it professionally on a regular basis. At a time when most developers were bailing out, SCALA came out with MM400, a MAJOR upgrade of their already outstanding product. They've always been ultra responsive, either on phone or right here in this forum, for my requests for either information or help. It would be a great loss, to me, to see their participation here dry up because of the comments of a few cynics and pessimists. My response to pundits who predict the future with smug cynicism, John, is to ignore them. They're not the ones who make change happen; they view mistakes as failure, while the rest of us...well, Edison made over 100 attempts at making the lightbulb before he got it right. A reporter asked him how it felt to fail over 1000 times. Edison's astonished reply was "What do you mean fail? We simply learned over a thousand ways not to make a light bulb!" 'Nuff said. John, et. al., keep up the great work, and please don't go away Jim Wilde, running SCALA on a 1200, 4000, and CD32/SX-1 for classrooms, confere nces, seminars, congressmen, and for economic and social development...I walk the walk, not talk the talk.
