Not at all.  If Amiga Inc actually chose to push the issue, it should be a simple cease and desist order...

Well, looking on the ASIC company name search here in Aus it seems there are plenty of co's using the -word- "Amiga" in their name:

Nah, Amiga Innovations are a Perth based Amiga reseller.  Btw, their prices are breathtaking.

I think Amiga Electronics crossed the line when they started calling their PCs "Amiga", it's not only tacky, it's pointless, no one who still knows what an Amiga is, is going to rush out and buy an "Amiga" named bog-standard PC.
