I take it your being funny ?

Actually I am not. What I know of the Amiga history I know from wikipedia. From there I read that Amiga first had some agreement with Atari, then was bought by Commodore. The boss of Commodore left Commodore and bought Atari and took with him many people from Commodore. Commodore tried to block the next computer by Atari and Atari found the agreement it had with Amiga and therefore they took each other to court.

That is the only lawsuit I know of! Was there another?

I found a good article on this here:

From how some people are talking it seems that it is better for the lawsuit to be won by Hyperion. Although personally I believe it is hard unless Amiga Inc. filed for bankruptcy! (However I am no lawyer!)

This is just a personal opinion and in no way I would want to offend the good people working at Amiga Inc. However I personally find it hard to see the 'Amiga' brand name related to software. For me an Amiga is hardware so I would expect Amiga Inc. to put more money on building computer and devices rather then just software... I could be wrong however!

You seem to have missed everything Amiga related since way before they went bankrupt

Of course I did! I just found my A500+ a month ago and got back interested to the Amiga world again. I know different companies miserably tried to launch Amiga computers. What I meant was that the majority of Amiga stuff out there is Hardware based, so I personally find it hard to understand why Amiga Inc. is completely concentrated on the software aspect.

No need for apologies :-)
