I first met Carl at an Amiga show in Pasadena in the early '90s. An incredible guy by any standard. I didn't get a chance to talk with him, but I observed Carl walking around AmiExpo this weekend and, by the smile on his face, having a great time.
He's one of the main visionaries who brought the Amiga to market. As he pointed out during the AmiWest banquet, he invented the term "multitasking." I see no downside to him coming back. I think I'd be a lot more interested in OS4 if Carl was leading the coding team.
I agree with Cecilia...this is a good guy who deserves a very warm welcome and thanks from anyone who cares about the Amiga.
As far as I'm concerned, it's all good news!
