"We have tangiable evidence that this [Bankruptcy of Amiga] will not happen any time soon"

Interesting quote, where it from?
The Iraqi Information minister or BB's PR Department?

This might very well just be a bunch of junk they no longer need

weirdami,

Yeah, AmigaOS4 is almost here so expect the FUD to rise exponentially.

I'm sure someone will turn up "official" bankruptcy papers soon.

Nokia scrapped the plans they had for the mediaterminal, so this prototype may be worth something

NyQuil,

Ok, so it's not a Commodore 265 or something (I'd imagine there's quite a few MTs still around other software companies), but think of the SlashDoters- they'd go this in a second.

I must have missed something major, but when did AInc go bankcrupt, or put into receivership or whatever?

George,

You didn't miss anything. It's just another wacky day on Amiga.org. No one's gone bankrupt...maybe the odd (mental) breakdown..anyways.

The auction in question is of some of Amiga Inc. old stuff. Here's a link to Fleecy's answer about that (#3):

Amigaworld/ Auction

One thing that struck me about that list is how much GateWay equipment was there (some old P2/P3s mostly). Maybe Gateway threw in some spare equipment when they sold Amiga to Bill and co?

redrumloa,

thanks for playing. Actually it was Ben Hermans on ANN.

It sure was.

We will welcome them with bullets and shoes.

Ogy,

 

I think most of the people wouldnt be bitter and angry with Amiga Inc if they were more open and honest with the public - specially comunity who was blindly waiting and beliving in their promises!!!

I think they have done just that over the years, the problem is some people take them at their word (they should really include that standard disclaimer about "forward looking statements...changing business conditions...etc.") and others, frankly see everything as a conspiracy. Of course, some of the later also work for and/or support competing "Amiga-like" projects.

I said this a few weeks ago, now that OS4 is just around the corner we'll see a lot of FUD flying. These people know that once OS4 starts selling, a lot of these alternatives are going to look pretty amateurish.
This is their last chance to knock off Amiga and they know it
