Horny MIDI Sequencer's development was cancel due to AmigaOS 4.1 PPC platform's growth is very slow and very small market.

It's a shame that some more recent software has fallen by the wayside. Claus Desler's Cinnamon Writer was promising and beta versions for Amiga OS4, MorphOS and AROS were released. It could be a mature and stable word processor by now if A-EON had elected to support the project instead of chasing after Libre Office

@Rob

It's a chicken and the egg issue.

A1222 adventure is effectively dead-end since the PPC e500 design with custom FPU has been displaced by e5500 and e6500 with standard PPC FPU.

I have my eye on the Mirari board.

Cinnamon Writer is a subset of LibreOffice's word-processor function.

The "killer app" for business word processing is the knowledge base document automation with business rules (business workflow) linkage with major accounting software packages. Accounting software can be industry and country-specific.

It's easier to target the social media video production use case when compared to the business rules automation word processing use case.

Apple has mass production capability with bulk purchasing strength, while Advanced System Design Group (ASDG) does not.

JMS states Amigas were used in B5's 1st season.

For Mac, Steve Jobs focused on DTP, and the next-gen GUI business apps market is larger than the pure TV production market.

The Japanese Government protected the Japanese
semiconductor industry when it was weak and, as it
strengthened, supported its move into international markets
(skip)
U.S. firms found it all but impossible to establish
subsidiaries in Japan or joint ventures with a significant
share of the equity-unless the Japanese partner was
given access to new technology or other appreciable
benefits
(skip)
The Japanese Government refused to give TI permission to
establish a wholly owned subsidiary in the early 1960s; in
turn, TI refused to license its IC patent in the United States
to Japanese firms
(skip)

Tariff and non-tariff barriers limited imports into Japan
as well. Tariffs were roughly double those of the United
States until the early 1980s.



Look in the mirror. This is NOT a simple company vs company, it's state vs state.

Perry Kivolowitz's argument summary
1. The Japanese government supported DRAM = good
2. The US government supported DRAM = bad

Perry Kivolowitz is ignorant. Perry Kivolowitz is a hypocrite.
