Ah, but you left out how many times they changed their direction. How from
the looks of things they basically s**** the company that makes QNX. How
they've *never* delievered any of their promises (I don't count AmigaOS
3.5, as they didn't deliever that, other people did).

Don't trust him! All the people that seemed to care about seeing a NextGen
Amiga disappeared just before and after he took over. The person to watch
would be Petro Tyschtschenko in Germany, and I'm really surprised that
Gateway hasn't sacked him yet.
