I personally don't like Ataris too much either (though there were times I almost bought one before I was enlightened by the Amiga ;), but those wars should really be over now - have they done any good for the Amiga?

Not what I asked for, as you will no doubt notice. When Jesper Skov was the strong leader of APUS development, he worked on making that possible, but he hasn't succeeded. Not that I think it's really needed...
