Re: Retro News: PowerPC News Interprets the Amiga

That news report foreshadows the future in a really eerie way. First, Petro Tyschtschenko on Amiga's future form:

"[Petro Tyschtschenko]  is clear that the Amiga's strength is in its software - though asked whether in a few years time Amiga Technologies will just be a software house, he answers frankly 'I don't know, I don't have a crystal ball'."

Then, a few lines down, the next article talks about the company that spawned the other major player:

"Visual Information Services Corp is licensing Amiga Technologies GmbH's hardware and software technology to use in a television and set-top box combination.  The Chicago, Illinois-based company was established specifically to develop proprietary and Amiga-based set-tops boxes and has ex-engineering staff from Commodore International Ltd among its development team."

VisCorp was headed by Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck, now of course the Genesi principals.
