A sad day

"We have made a decision, concerning both A-EON and AmigaKit. The decision we made is grounded in our experience during the last 8 months in regards to both companies. As a result we have made the choice to no longer support A-EON or AmigaKit in any way, shape or form.

We are still here and "may" be carrying more stuff soon. However no more X5000 or A1222 or, frankly anything produced from either company. AOTL Donations is going on a temporary hold so we can refocus now that we are not supporting A-EON or AmigaKit."

DAMN! :eek:

Just speculation but, I think this is what happens when Matt abandons AmigaKit and goes gallivanting around the world with the Prince of Amiga! :lol:

From AOTL 24 Nov 2016: "I am very proud to tell you all that Amiga On The Lake has so far sold more AmigaOneX5000s than all other resellers in the world combined, so far (to the best of our understanding). This is do in part to the fact that AmigaKit does not have them on there site as of yet. Rest assured that things will change when they do."

Well, I remember this statement form back then (and dug it up) thinking what's "Rest assured that things will change when they do" supposed to mean. I thought the statement was out of place right off the bat as A: the information was not essential to the reader in an introduction, B: seemed to give off a vague threat, and C: why was I, the reader,  supposed to be rest assured.

Then this comes outta nowhere (Hmmmm - nowhere?): Do you think AmigaOne X5000 will be available to buy on Amigakit website this summer?

Follett, who is support for AmigaKit, even thought the question was outta place on the forum:

Mike thought this question had ulterior motives too:

Then came "Now What?"

Now, I'm no Barney Fife but, it would seem that AOTL may have had an agreement with AmigaKit to not sell Amiga5000's until, maybe, a certain future date. And if AmigaKit did sell before any agreed future date then......... the AmigaKit/AOTL plug got pulled!

I just can't help think that there are some folks in the Amiga background whom are just not who they portend to be... FPF?

I love a good conspiracy though..... :rolleyes:

And now http://www.amigaworld.net/ is down.....

Weird-o-rama!
