Gee it seems funny to hear Alpha users disturbed about being left behind
feature-wise when their machines are likely capable of supporting said
new features...I noticed somewhat less sympathy from some in this
previously elite group for Amiga 3.5 SA users who want THEIR 4.0 to be as
functionally similar to other versions as possible when the machine can
support the new feature!

Why not give them a little time, and credit for having indicated
continuing support for ALL platforms....if a new version or completely
new program evolves for one or another platform, we've still all got what
we paid for, and it's still as capable as the day we bought it, as well
as an amazing value!
Do you suppose AutoDesk is getting flak for developing MAX?? I doubt it.
And in the unlikely event that the new version specific to the Raptor is
really RADICALLY different, we can ALL always either upgrade platforms
(Gawd knows we Amigans have heard that enough) or encourage
'trickle-down' of features. If REALLY ticked, theres always Real3D.
