On one hand, it would seem that we've all be duped in light of the lawsuit. On the other hand, I don't believe that Bill would out right lie about the new hardware announcement that was made last week. He obviously prepared that lawsuit prior to the A-Inc./ACK announcement (and after the Hyperion/ACube announcement - for obvious reasons). Yet, chose to release the A-Inc./ACK announcement before filing the lawsuit. In light of the Kent deal, I can't believe that he would cut off his nose just to spit his face (or rather Hyperion's). That would be suicidal!  Filing the lawsuit did, however, ensure an immediate course for A-Inc. to market and sell OS4. A-Inc. doesn't have to prove anything in court to do that. A contract is a contract. That ball's in Hyperion's court. So, I have every reason to believe that A-Inc. will announce a system by the end of the week. At least when I think thru this in a logical manner, it would seem possible to me.

Side note: (and please, no disrespect intended but,) who is Methuselas on this forum and how is it that this person would know details of any potential hardware partner that A-Inc. would be dealing with? I mean, first there is an announcement by Bill of an A-Inc./ACK deal then Methuselas throws out the possibility of an A-Inc./ACube deal. Which is another indicator that there really may be an announcement of a new Amiga/OS4 machine this week yet in my mind...

Ahhhh, you must be loaded with $$$   :-P

Well I for one am Rooting for you all the way! Because according to ACK, it won't be till summer before that partnership would even announce something and that would lead to a nine month wait before you could even buy something.
