Hyperion and Eyetech have done more than Gateway, Escom and all together. They have done something for real.


But escom got shops interested in reselling amiga1200,s quite a while after they had sold out and almost forgot about it. :-)

The only problem with that was they were selling A1200s that were next to useless by that time - unless, of course, you spent a fortune upgrading them. The Amiga Surfer pack was great - if you liked watching web pages take 4 minutes to load on a flickery interlace screen on a very dodgy version of Voyager.


Maybe so but they sold thousands of of the things and cleared some of the large stockpile.
