Why, of course, like A/UX, it will be a System V/Berkeley clone, combining
the best features of both (*is* there a good feature of System V???). And of
course it will be superior to A/UX in that AmigaDos applications will run
underneath it. It will also provide access to an intuition-like library
so your Unix programs can have nice graphic interfaces. And it will have NFS,
and X-windows R11, and it will have online documentation. And there will be
a great hypertext program bundled with it. And it will have these things at
less cost than a MacII so that people will buy it rather than a MacII.
Of course.
