OK, then, are we going TAO, MICO, Orbit
or one of the expensive commercial CORBA busses like Orbix or VisiBroker
or even worse, the BEA one (personal taste, don't flame me please) ?

I am not sure that Amiga as time and money to spend on writing their own
CORBA bus.

I think they will use an existing one
or no CORBA bus (then this would be 'an Ami way' of distributing objects).

So, back to my first concern,
when is information about the distributed environment going to be disclosed
?
(I should maybe open a new thread for this, sorry)
