As I said earlier on www.ann.lu, since Amiga inc now seem to have
comeout from under the radar, maybe Bill or Fleecy should try and
give an interview to one of the news reporting sites, ie Cnet etc- so
that other OS users actually understand all that we have been
informed over these last 10 months. After all, it's great all of us
having a basic understanding of this new DE OS, but since it is so
different to what is avail to those using anything else, I feel now
is the time for REAL info to be put forth- SO THE WORLD MAY KNOW!
