It's cheaper for non-Toaster Amiga owners to buy LW3.5 SA ($525) then
upgrade to LW4.0 ($150 for any platform), than to wait for LW4.0 ($995).
So, NewTek is looking out for the Amiga community right now, and giving them
an affordable out later. I say that's pretty cool. So, what are the
chances of being able to upgrade my LW3.5 for Amiga <and> get LW4.0PC for,
say, $300? Objection your honor, grounds for speculation.
