Jeeze, I didn't know anyone besides Bill Hawes, the group
at SLAC, and a few other Stanford people (Tom Rokicki especially)
ever caught on to what the AmigaOS was about. The ARexx Message
Ports for IPC seems like what 'plumber' is going to be when
it grows up . . . I haven't seen anything come close yet.
FWIW, Art Walker's gamma ray telescope (the EGRET) that he did for
his PhD project actually got up there, maybe a decade ago. I guess
it's still circling.

No, Commodore never could hire a decent marketing team for the Amiga is
what happened.
