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.
