I'd like to know why did Gateway nor any Amiga employee have no voice over Gateway loosing discounts from Microsoft if they developed their own brand(Amiga)?  

This should have been added to the anti-trust case.

Anyone have any ideas or comments?

Regards,



Amiga Inc is still patiently waiting for a huge check from Microsoft, according to Bill McEwens neighbors. (rumor)

CyberMech, something tells me that one comment wasn't based on fact and the other wasn't entirely serious :-)


Not a fact I can back up anyway. According to Rich Woods, Bill McEwens neighbors said that Bill told them he was waiting for a large check from Microsoft, and that when it was recieved, his current problems would be over.
