One of my main disapointments is that I was hoping for slightly more
solid dates and some kind of price tag so I know roughtly how much
cash I am going to need. I still can not fault Amiga for the work
they have put in. Lets not forget they haven't even owned the company
for a year yet. I was expecting a little more out of this
announcement though, given the subtle hype that preceeded the show.
(Was it Amiga hyping it up or the community? I can't remember 80) )
Anyway, I am going to quietly hope for some clarifications and
hopefully an in depth review on the announcement from the AA team 80)
