>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.

>imac pc loaner

Hello
Who will lend (APPLE???) iMac to Amiga Inc for software development?
APPLE (Steve Jobs) or EPSON or a PC company?

Are they writing "Epson device driver", secretly porting AmigaOS/ AmigaDE to iMac?

Why Murphy keep calling it iMac PC? Is this some sort of Intel X86 PC inside iMac case?

Hello
This "forced" auction can be avoided, if Bill McEwen had a good financial planning and management. There are better ways to get rid of the unused assets.

If the cash run low and Amiga Inc cann't pay the rent, perhaps the remaining asset can be sold / auctioned by Amiga Inc BEFORE the rent deadline expired. Another strategy is to move and store the remaining assets in a warehouse / storage service (ie U-Haul).

This "forced" auction REALLY tarnish / destroy Amiga Inc reputation and proved the poor financial management at Amiga Inc.

Imagine if Amiga Inc financial situation improved in the future and Amiga Inc plan to rent new office space. If the new landlord find out about Amiga Inc "forced" auction, the landlord will demand higher fee or full payment in advance.

>Bill McEwen, Millionaire & IPO.

On Summer 2000, Mr Bill McEwen had announced about possibilities of Amiga Inc IPO. I try to ask the CFO to send information to a leading financial group who is the underwriter of major IPOs, including Apple Inc.

Unfortunately the CFO left Amiga in Sept. 2000.
If the IPO went ahead, perhaps Mr Bill McEwen will become a REAL millionaire and Amiga Inc's financial future will be better.

NetVentures

Hello
Netventures also invest in 16 other companies beside Amiga Inc. If they know about the poor financial situation at Amiga Inc and threat of eviction, I guess they can discontinue the rent and move the Amiga Inc assets to their own office or one of the other related companies. Perhaps NetVentures can help establish a temporary office for Amiga Inc. This will prevent the embarassing auction and preseve the remaining assets.

By going public, perhaps Amiga will have better financial support and I am sure that one of the financial companies can provide a temporary office space.

If they REALLY move to Netherland, perhaps Amiga Inc executives & managers will use bicycle, instead of cars (ie similar to Bolten Peck!) :-)

>Netventures don't care about Amiga Inc

Hello
Perhaps there is a different values in some Asian financial groups. They will provide better support their subsidiaries (financial, tools, equipments, facility etc). See CSK group (JAPAN) support for Ravisent and Frank Wilde (former Ravisent CEO and former AMIGA INC Chairman), although Ravisent NEVER make any profit for 2 years.

When one of their subsidiaries collapse / have to fire employees, usually they have a database / information / list of good employees / staff. The good employees may be transferred to other companies / subsidiaries.

Beside "Saving face / reputation", providing temporary office may reduce the debt (office rental charge) and preserve the value of the asset. Perhaps the remaining Amiga Inc assets can be transferred / sold to other subsidiaries.

BTW is there any update news on the auction?
Which items are unsold?
Which item got the highest bid?
