One thing I was really happy about was that Petro has a place in the new Amiga, Inc hierarchy of executives. I'm sure all the information is on Amiga Inc's website.
Uhmmm... what? Point me to an URL to Video Toaster/Flyer hardware for the PC.
AFAIK, there's no such thing, because PCs suck, and can't do anything cool and innovative like that. >;)

I saw Jim Collas's speech at the Amiga99 convention, and had the pleasure of speaking to him at the party on Saturday. He is truly a man with a vision, and if anyone can turn their new hardware into something deserving of the Amiga name, it is he. He understands what the Amiga meant to people when it was introduced, and how it has managed to stay with so many people til today.
He believes that there is a place in today's market for non-PC, non- Windows computers. I believe that, too. This man stepped down from his position as Senior Vice President at Gateway to become President of Amiga, Inc. That takes balls. That takes vision. I for one know that he really is going to work at this -- this is no half-hearted attempt like what the Amiga has seen over the past 5 years. This is genuine. There will be new Amigas for enthusiasts (read: nerds) and for end-users. Jim Collas is not making this stuff up. He really feels strongly about this. I believe it will happen. Now, whether or not these machines will succeed is a question that cannot be answered. I believe that there is a place for them in today's computer market. Other people do too. Gateway does. Ted Waitt, president of Gateway, is excited about this.
Yeah. So. This isn't just hogwash hype. They're really working on this finally. No more B.S.

No. Linux is doomed to obscurity.
