An excellent article, James, and damn high time that someone tracked down some facts in this latest Amiga debacle.  I guess the dream is dead.  No, not the common, ordinary dream of new hardware/OS.  The hardware is out, and I guess OS 4 will see release at some point (then again, I was firmly convinced at one time that the Boxer would come out!).  I'm not even talking about the DE; that too came about, albeit in a limited fashion and not nearly as fully fledged as it was supposed to.  I am talking about the OE, the Operating Enviroment that would have run on all hardware and seamlessly networked them all, and allowed access of everything by anything else and given you the best performance a given hardware platform could offer (rather like communism, only with computers and actually workable!).  I guess it was all puffery, or may as well be at this point.  Damn.  What the hell's the point anymore? :-(

Amiga.  Wish the world could have known.
