Amiga Auction List Posted

They're auctioning HOW many 21" monitors?!

"We have tangiable evidence that this [Bankruptcy of Amiga] will not happen any time soon"...

Do people feel the sudden urge to laugh or cry?   ;-)

i find this all amazing..... how can we expect this company to actually produce something? A company who dosent have enough funding to pay the rent! They now work from their own homes.. lol.. :-(

I bet their employes is pretty pissed off..... sigh

Interesting quote, where it from?
The Iraqi Information minister or BB's PR Department?

This might very well just be a bunch of junk they no longer need

weirdami,

Yeah, AmigaOS4 is almost here so expect the FUD to rise exponentially.

I'm sure someone will turn up "official" bankruptcy papers soon.

>IMac PC.

Hello
Strange, there is no Single classic Amiga on the list. How do they plan to test the (vaporware)connectivity card from Escena?

I heard it is possible to recover contents of hard disks (even deleted and written over) using special tools (clean room). Perhaps Genesi / BBRV will buy their computers? :-)

Is it possible to send representative, similar to art auction at Sothbey or Christie? :-)

I am planning to buy the special Apple's IMac (classified as a PC) from Amiga Inc, complete with certificates. Do they provide the certificates? :-)

I hope they will auction the gold toilet tooth brush, similar to Brunei's auction! :-)

>NORTEL, CISCO
Perhaps they plan to provide giant online service, similar to Apple Inc? There are several giant used routers (ie CISCO 12000) from failed ISPs and Telecommunication companies.

Nokia scrapped the plans they had for the mediaterminal, so this prototype may be worth something

NyQuil,

Ok, so it's not a Commodore 265 or something (I'd imagine there's quite a few MTs still around other software companies), but think of the SlashDoters- they'd go this in a second.

AAAARGH! :-?
I must have missed something major, but when did AInc go bankcrupt, or put into receivership or whatever? What does this mean for OS4? Have AInce pulled out making it, it's all on Hyperion? Does this relate to the forum thread about losing the Amiga name, and who now owns it?
I really missed here!   :-?  
Can someone please post a link to the new(s) items relating to this, i'm lost!  :-(

George,

You didn't miss anything. It's just another wacky day on Amiga.org. No one's gone bankrupt...maybe the odd (mental) breakdown..anyways.

The auction in question is of some of Amiga Inc. old stuff. Here's a link to Fleecy's answer about that (#3):

Amigaworld/ Auction

One thing that struck me about that list is how much GateWay equipment was there (some old P2/P3s mostly). Maybe Gateway threw in some spare equipment when they sold Amiga to Bill and co?

redrumloa,

It sure was.

We will welcome them with bullets and shoes.

Either that, or his stunt double.   :-)

From Fleecy's response:  "This amounts to some three year old wall dividers, desks, chairs, lamps, one or two old printers, some filing cabinets etc."

Not to mention twenty 21" monitors, 30+ desktop computers, etc.

That's a lot of stuff to leave behind!  I guess they think becuase they haven't been in the office for a while, they can skip rent?

Honesty, I don't know why I follow this crap.  I must admit, it's pretty damn funny, though.

Executive update, anyone?  Or is this indeed a private party?  ;-)

[carls]

What, not a single Amiga computer? Geez....

[George]

Aaah!
Thankyou zee4. A few posts earlier (downix's and others) kinda gave me the impression that AInc had gone under. Guess me just got confused, sorry  :-(
Anyway, than you again for the information, and I feel a little happier about the survival of my favourite computer now ^_^

[greenboy]

Oh? The PocketPC is your favorite computer?  ;  þ

@George

While AInc's not bankrupt, they did get kicked out of their offices and all of their business equiptment is now being auctioned off by their old landlords for back-rent.  Oh, and they stopped paying their employees, cut off the employees insurance plan, and are in generally poor shape.

However, as AInc had nothing to do with the OS, this doesn't do much other than entertain the more morbid among us.
