To be honest, if I were a hardware developer, I don't think I would be
too enthused about developing the hardware when Amiga Inc. seem to be
only interested in "Internet Appliances"!
To my way of thinking, the only way a new Amiga computer would be able
to take off again would be for Amiga Inc. to produce the new Amiga
computer and back it up with solid advertising. Nothing will take off
without solid positive advertising from Amiga Inc. itself. Their current
comments only seem to reinforce our opinions that they are only
interested in the "Internet Appliances" side of things.
