Would it have made sense to sell the rights (to Amiga's only asset)
technically the DE is also an asset, and they have held onto that one.
actually, if I was a betting man...oh heck I am a betting man....
OK, I officially (official in my capacity as sovereign of the marktime kingdom)...DENOUNCE the idea that KMOS is a holding company for Amiga, Inc.
You see I don't like Amiga, Inc. either, but they never made a mistake, in their way of thinking. If KMOS was a shell company for Amiga, Inc.,t hen you better believe AmigaDE would have gone with it.
Amiga, Inc. probably still wants to go forward with AmigaDE, although, I still don't have a clue how they would do that...the only thing is, I no longer care.
Now, I'm only concerned about kmos. If we are to believe they really acquired this thing last year, then their silence shows they don't really give a hoot about their user base.
And that is bad, very bad. Because if they don't care about this user base, regardless, of the reason, then they don't have anyone to sell a product too.
As much as they might like to jettision the wacko's, we are all, mostly wacko's with pocketbooks who were willing to invest in amiga hardware. So now who are they going to sell to?
Maybe they want to sell to Librarians and Sunday School teacher's, but they just aren't in the market for $800 powerpc motherboards....tooooo baaaad.
