Someone with a couple of $ should buy them out and put them out of their misery


Anyone has idea how much $ would it be to buy all Amiga IP/Patents and related stuff from Gateway, and how much to get the name licence and amiga.com from Amino ?

OMG who the :madashell: is KMOS now ? :-( South American soap operas are simple comparing to this :-o

So I guess if there >WAS< some company X with milions of $ and willing to buy Amiga name (from whoever), site (from whoever2), patents and IP from Gateway, OS4 from Hyperion, solve mess with Genesi (omg?) ..... it would be years of lawyer time and millions of $ wasted on papers instead R&D :-(

POLL: would 10 million $ would be enough for this ?  :idea:

Hm,... yes rather confusing  :-?

So in order to get Amiga 'back from 1994' and to produce hardware and software both for new Amigas and classic Amigas (with Amiga brand) it would take bying:

- patents/IP from Gateway
- Amino/Amiga Inc. (or their licence)
- Hyperion/OS4.0 development
- ... ?

I guess scoring two out of three would be almost impossible, especially because Gateway bought Amiga "cuz they had the money", and not to do something with it... I doubt they would sell the patents for what they paid for them :-( (was it 5 million$?)
