This is perhaps the central point. I'm yet not sure whether you believe
this really or only say it. I remember proofing you in a past posting
exactly this point, that you *not* corrected some misinformation but
chose to make unnecessary and invalid negative side remarks about the
Amiga. And this is after my (and probably most people's here) impression
exactly what makes your performance here so annoying.

Not intending to be judgemental, or anything, but:

Jerry, you appear to be picking nits, for the purpose of supporting an
argument that you made, which in retrospect, perhaps you wish you
hadn't.

Your use of the phrase 'no doubt' implies that you know for a fact that
many people worked on the bridgeboard.  The point of that statement
seemed to me to be an attempt to belittle Andy's contribution to it.

When actual CBM employees tell you that in fact, the teams are small,
you deny that you've assumed anything (which you did, you assumed that
many people worked on the bridgeboard,) and still try to belittle Andy's
contribution by suggesting he's not responsible for the design of the
edge connector and the 80x86 on it?

How does any of this support your original point, which I believe, was
to suggest that Andy isn't an expert on something or other, wasn't it
operating systems?

Jerry, rather than attacking Andy's credentials, which are (IMHO)
most excellent, perhaps you could tell us some of yours?

Dear Nick:

By 1E03 times.  AMIGA == FEMALE FRIEND.  In Puerto Rico means

besides of your wife.  I do not know where in the world Amiga means

Getting Amiga's to the schools would be a great thing, looking at

Alright.  That much we agree on, though I believe some systems only do a
redraw of the bitmap which correlates to the display-list for the active
device when that list changes.  (I could be wrong here, it may happen
every 1/60 or 1/50 (NTSC/PAL dependent) of a second)

That is, but is that DIG?  It's not very device-independent, in that it
requires the program to understand widths, etc.  I consider THAT
technique to fall under the scheme of "RTG".  Unfortunately, I'm short
two books right now, so I'm a little hesitant to screw myself up here.

A DIG system with a raster display would seem to fall under retargetable
graphics, where "raster" is just in another place.  DIG is a much broader
scope, in my perspective, because it means device independence with no
matter of how those instructions are carried out--a bitmap printer is no
different than that QuickDraw-using printer hanging off of your Mac, you
simply send it the display list, like a PostScript file, straight to your
printer.  It just so happens that the graphics system and the printer
speak the same language, QuickDraw.

Have I totally lost the issue?

It allows *any* characters EXCEPT the slash (obviously) and the double-quote.  You
CAN use question marks or hash signs (despite the fact that these are wildcard

the filenames for that).  I disapprove stongly of using spaces in filenames >:-|

Another great utility is FINDWINDOW by Phil Burk.  It opens a menu
on the Workbench (actually a window with only a title bar), and
presents a popup-menu listing each and every window open under the
Workbench.  Pulling one down causes that window to both front and
activate.

The A4000 can't run all Mac, PC and Amiga software. It can't even run most
Amiga software. In any case Emplant or Amax will not run all Mac software
and I doubt that you'd be happy running SCO-Unix on a bridgeboard. Also,
you can't run NeXTSTep 486 on any bridgeboard. There's a lot of other PC
software and OS's that won't work either.
 
The idea of one computer handling all 3 is certainly nice. It hasn't happened
yet though.
