Sorry to be contradictory, but a good friend who recently came back from
Japan has told me that; 1. He has played around with the Amiga and it is
really swift and COLORful, 2. It is in production via Sanyo, 3. Look for
it this summer. The guy is straight and a good friend. No corporate
ax to grind ( guess his employer ). I am interested to see what these
"Johnny come lately's" can produce. It might even be better than the
Macintosh ( guess what I'm typing on ) but then given enough time...
All I know is, its been heaven so far ( and it ain't over yet ).
Now if I only had an 8510/a to read all those old 8" floppys on my shelf :-).
