It seems that if someone disagrees with what is going on, then they are
to be ignored? I am a registered Scala owner for the Amiga. I have
stated that I love the product and use it extensivley in my video work.
I appreciate how easy it is to use, yet how powerful it is. My concern
though is that after MM400 there might not be anymore support for the
Amiga. Yes, I have read the Amiga Report IRC. I have read Mr. Chang's
messages here. And they are very optimistic about the MM100 (and
knowing what they have done already with Scala, I the app must be a
'killer' product). I see nothing wrong with making products for other
platforms. They are in business to make money, and what platform has
the greatest potential. The PC. But there is this nagging feeling that
unless there is a PowerAmiga that is sold in large enough quantities,
there really wont be any more Amiga upgrades. Reading Mr. Chang's
messages said "if". That to me means "no" until those "if's" are met.
Right now, we have no idea what is going to happen to the Amiga. Sold
again. Mr. Chang says that my view is myopic. I tend to think that it
is realistic with the information that I have. I sincerely hope that I
am wrong, but until someone (Mr. Chang, Viscorp, AT) tell me
otherwise... And telling me that there are things that cant be said
about future upgrades doesnt help either. IF they were going to
continue upgraded the Amiga in it's present form, then say so. It will
go a long way in stopping all the 'doomsayers'.... including me.
