For some people it is a question of honor but for
Amiga dealers it is a question of business survival:

Some of our customer are waiting for the Amigaone
computer : They buy nothing.

Some bought a PC to run the SDK / other:
They spend their money in PC hardware, we have nothing
to sell to them.

Some are waiting for the SDK on PPC: They invested a
lot on their Amiga. Even if there are not all
developers it would be a signal to have them invest
more in their Amiga.

Some are waiting for G3/G4 PPC cards/BOXER.

There are not so much new softwares around because all
the classic market is in "wait and see" position.

We are actualy loosing money and try to keep up just
because we like the Amiga, Amigans. Days after days we
see other Amiga company / dealers closing.

Where is the roadmap AmigaClassic --> Ami ?
Do we have any date for a AmigaClassic PPC SDK release
?

Even if Amiga classic is a shrinking market it is a
potential of 10-15000 power user (more if we have new
PPC cards), mostly developers, IT people, artists and
all they are all "Amigans".

SDK for the classic has been told by Amiga month ago.
Now we are waiting for a good news like "Amiga and H&P
is please to announce that classic Amiga/ PPC sdk will
be out soon"

At least have some information on its development.

Regards, Christophe.
