Yeah, the whole community should start spamming Acer asking them what their plans for revival are and what new hardware are they going to announce... :lol: like people did when Gateway bought Escom.
I would be curious to see what they come up with... :lol:

I know you're only joking, but I don't think anyone expects Acer to release new Amiga hardware. However, it would be useful to know what rights they inherited to give us a clearer picture of how it affects the current AInc/Hyperion court cases.

I agree. I was merely recalling what happened when Gateway got flooded by letters after they bought Escom out. They kinda freaked out as they did not expect much or any reaction...

OIC. I wasn't really following Amiga stuff that closely around the time of the Gateway purchase, so I missed out on all the fun. Sorry for misjudging your intentions.
