A few bits stood out to me:

----------------------------------------------
8) Why couldn't you licence Individual Computers Amiga 500 clone Projetc A? ( It seems like a product that could generate a lot of revenue. Just look at the success of the C64 DTV)

I am not familiar with this company or project. I would need to speak with someone there; my e-mail is bill@amiga.com
-----------------------------------------------

It is official, Bill has been under a rock.  I heard of this and I was purposefully avoiding the Amiga for years.

-----------------------------------------------
40) How do feel about making Amiga OS 1.0 to 3.1 Open Source?

Not going to happen.
------------------------------------------------
Foolish and short sighted.  Oh wait, who are we talking about again?  nevermind.

Whatever this OS5 turns out as, I don't think it'll run on any classic hardware.
-------------------------------

Oh, didn't you know?  Hardware was irrelevent.  The next Amiga will run without being encumbered by such novelties as a "hardware" or even a "computer." Yes, it will exist anywhere....
