Just a freaky stupid funny idea I'm throwing at you all.
Amiga Inc. paid less than 50'000$ to hyperion for OS 4.0. Does that mean anything to you people?
And the worst is... they actually made it. Or so they say.
To me, what it means is, both companies are very low budget companies and probably could be bought out for a relatively low price. Low being less than 500'000$ each.
If only a few hundreds, perhaps a few thousands of Amiga fans pooled a good amount of money together, it would be possible to buy out both companies, force merge them then force them to work together with one another and end this stupid battle.
But hey... that's just me... I'm a dreamer... an idealist... a crazy lunatic... a... whatever...
Too bad Amiga has a lot more cash than what you are talking about based on what we last knew, do searches on the Prokom Software SA investment they got (millions) and the very recent agreement with the city of Kent, Washington they entered into for naming rights for a new arena there (for again, millions).
How this is possible is anyone's guess, damn them for being a private company! But they are not likely to sell for peanuts. Maybe they are a tax write off for someone, some people think they are a money laundering op. But no one can really say due to no access to the financials. The only reason we know what we do at all is because Prokom is a public company and Kent, as a city goverment must be forthcoming with such things.
And if they don't have such money, they certainly don't want us to know about it, especially with the Kent deal in the newspapers.
