DiscreetFX want to buy AInc. next year

[Tomas]

The community has never been considered by an Investor before and I am sure that an Investor would not even know what an Amiga is/was.

From what i understood, atleast one of these investors have been into amiga and newtek videotoaster in the past, so it is simply not true that they dont know what an amiga is.

out of comments are we? , i wonder why on earth people here (and other forums) is mocking what discreetFX just did, yes they said they where interested in buying AmigaInc.

i would say good luck to pyro and the investors and i know i will back it when and if it happens but until then i rather just stay quiet.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

My only problem is that they announced this before even getting a reply from amiga. Normal practice for companies is to first make the deal and then afterwards make a press release.

I also wish them good luck and i believe the guys at discreetfx are okay.

Can't anyone appreciate the Amiga for what it is: the best computer of it's day?

I see nothing wrong with having high plans for it. And i personally would like to see Amiga being the best computer of the present even though i think it is highly doubtful. I have never been satisfied with either a pc or a mac and i want again feel like i did when using a amiga during the peak. I do not care so much about wether it is called Amiga or not though.
The Amiga is just not the hardware either, but also the OS. The only OS that came close"with exception of amiga clones" in my opinion was BeOS, but sadly it never took of.
