Why the negative connotation Peter?

Amiga has a project under alot of NDAs. I do not sign NDAs, because I
don't need to, to know what is going on.

Perhaps you have a problem that I do not support closed system proprietary
stuff that I know I've been an influence in.

As such, GNU directions have always been there and I've always been one in
support of FSF directions.

The Amiga has had the three primary interfaces from the beginning and
there is a great deal in the way of applications, devices, libraries, even
system functions that have had arexx port support. However, there is
plenty regarding the fall of the Amiga that has finally out weighed the
positive. But that is the old Amiga and the startup that has bought the
trademark and has rights to the technology is not improving uponthe old
technology but rather doing something different.

In essence, there really is little future left in the old amiga and the
new stuff is clearly so closed system oriented in one way of another that
It is not appealing.

The python newgroup is because after alot of research, it shows the most
promise in various areas, such as cross platform compatable, it's GPL
compatable and it's open source.

It really should just be common since for anyone to figure this out,
especially for those who have really read any ofthe writing I've done on
the VIC. Even woithout understanding what the VIC is, I've made my intent
clear about it being an open and free project, as in GPL.
