Certainly recognize that it could be a quick booster for AI, *if* it
goes according to plan. ;-)
Now I'm just praying the short term $/dev attractions and assumptions
don't severly backfire, as they have for so very many others in the
past. Every Hour spent on a windoze machine is one less Hour spent
discovering and building alternatives. Every missed request for a
Linux device driver is another commodity peripheral that will be made
more difficult for Amiga OE to access.... etc., etc., etc.
Anyway, nothing to do but see how it falls from here.
