Well, what can I say... Imagine my feelings after switching to UAE
working as 020/28 from my 040/40 + 603e/210 + BVision... I hope the
Emulation Layer Amiga Inc. was talking about gives me much faster
Classic Amiga emulation.

I think You are writing this as [future] commercial software developer.
But forcing users to switch this way is not what they like. I use many
good share/freeware Classic applications and I want to continue using
them with *fast* emulation. This fast emulation gives the new Amiga a
lot of good applications without any porting. But clearly using e.g.
ImageFX on 020/28 is really uncomfortable.
