I think part of the problem we Amigaoids are having is that after
years of loyal Amiga support from a fine company like NewTek, they
suddenly decide that the name "Amiga" hurts their business.

Hell, IBM's name was joke in workstation markets until the RS/6000 came

AIX 3.1.pay-to-beta-test-AIX that I usually whine about. :-)
