Good Grief!!!
Betray??

 Newtek was supposed to go out of business just because Commodore mismanaged the Amiga into bankruptcy?
 
 Newtek did the smart,reasonable,and moral thing:they developed a product using their expertise for the vast standard market.They stayed in business ,which was good for their employees and chose to still recognize and support legacy products. I have Newtek Windows PC hardware,too.

 Business is about making money ,not just making a few hobbyists happy.

 But at that point all those likely to use an Amiga/Toaster already had one,and Newtek had to move to PC or go under.
 
 Too bad Newtek couldn't/didn't take over the Amiga.If they had,we 'd be using the Newtek Icebox,the world's coolest computer with AmigaOS 6.5 running on a dual 2gHz PPC and AGA4.
