I knew Amiga was finished...
I think you'll need to check that crystal ball again soon.
I have no doubts that "Amiga" as so far as Hyperion & co. and the comunity will carry on, but as far as Amiga Inc. goes... what are you telling me - Amiga is being bought (again)? This is just business as usual?
I wanted to see Amiga Inc. succeed; I thought the AmigaDE was cool; And I was so close to buying the Amiga SDK to develop a small mathematics packge for PDA (then my monitor blew up which hurt to replace as I'm a not-so-rich full time uni student).
I don't understand, but then again business bores me so I plead ignorance... Your words and the auction description indicate to me that this was not a voluntary, routine auction. That to me seems like either Amiga Inc. is finished or at least extremely cornered. Wont this affect the so-called "credit rating"? Who will do business with them? Who will want to work for them or rely on them/trust them?
Clearly I've missed something and this situtation is obvious to everyone else. I'll just go back to hacking whatever I'm working on. Perhaps I should do some study. Maybe I'll watch some TV.
