And guess why AWeb is On AmigaOS 3.9 (and guess which one probably made more
money in the last year) and guess why Vapor is dead in the Amiga market now

strange principle, support something from dead companies but not from
companies that still make money, since Amiga is now going to be making
money we will probably see vapor begin supporting the C64 the next version
of Voyager (v 4.x) will probably only run on c64's

And OS4.x-OS5.x will be containing WarpUp in one way or another so... kiss
Vapor goodbye
because they are history.

With kind regards,
