My personal view on Amiga Inc (which I expressed publically in
Amiga Active magazine) is that they'll slowly gravitate to where the
money is being spent (and therefore made) and that is never gonna be
the A1.

Whether that's in the PDA market or some other AmigaAnywhere
application is yet to be seen. Remember the very cosy relationship
they developed with Tau Group? Heard any Amiga related stuff coming
from Francis Charig lately?  

My forcast is that Bill McE, Fleecy, etc., will never be
able to withstand the draw of big bucks, which in this market
inevitably means MicroSoft. The scene has already been set, hasn't it!

Cheers,

The Amiga Atlanta website suggests that the Amiga has played and
probably is playing a far bigger role in NASA's projects than you
suggest.

The article entitled 'Secret in Hangar AE'
(www.amigaatlanta.org/AEcastro.html) provides pretty convincing
evidence of the importance of the Amiga to current missions, including
the Space Shuttle.

OK, it was written in 1999, but with all the cut-backs and budget
reductions faced by NASA in recent times, I bet the Amiga systems are
still providing a front line service.
