I wish to clarify my comment (question) entitled "2 questions", regarding
the Amiga computer.
.... "The Amiga computers will cost less than $1,000, have a new
interface, and advanced multimedia and Internet features, he said. They
might also incorporate Java and Linux software technology. Linux is a
version of Unix software used on high-powered workstation computers. ,,,
That is a partial quote from The Philadelphia Inquirer, May 16, 1998,
business secton, page D-1, an article by Dan Stets, a staff writer for
the Inquirer.
Jeff Schindler, top dog of Amiga, which is now owned by Gateway,
announced in London that the Amiga will run on a new op system, Amiga OS
4.0, and then an OS 5.0. The first new machines to be available in
November. Notice that the actual quote says that they -might- include
linux, not that they -will- include linux, as I implied in my first
email.
Check the article. It's interesting because of the astonishing claims
made for the new OS's.

Another comment: I'm really surprised that everybody else on our list
didn't know about this before I did, as I'm not in the main swim of
anything.
