We understand how you can be jaded, it is 12 long hard years after the death of Commodore after all. When/if DiscreetFX could come to agreements to buy Amiga Inc. the first priority would be to communicate with and gain valuable feedback from the Amiga community and the very vocal ex-Amiga community. Believe it or not we like your criticism and belief that we will fail. It drives us even harder towards success. DiscreetFX has a lot of experience in the Amiga & visual effects market. Our involvement with the Amiga community would help the brand not harm it. But, you are welcome to your opinion and sharing it makes for great debate.

Amiga stuff must wait until that project is complete.

It will be about a 12 month process.

The only way we could answer that question is to delve into the business plan which we are not willing to do. That being said, if you read though the DiscreetFX products page you can kind of see the direction the company is going.

As far as why Amiga & Oil Change the movie are mentioned together, we have Amiga computers in the movie so it is of interest to Amiga fans.

While we are not interested in discussing our business plan, I will tell you this. Apple almost died a few years back and what saved them was bringing back their founder. You might love or hate Steve Jobs but he saved Apple from certain death. Now they are enjoying great success, even going after some of the Amiga's once exclusive markets like low end video production. Part of the DiscreetFX plan is to seek out and hire some of the original Amiga team if they are interested. No one was more passionate or Amiga gun hoe than Carl, RJ, David Needle Etc. If we are able to hire one or more of the first Amiga greats they will help form the new Amiga plan. Also, it is of great interest to DiscreetFX to help get to market retro Amiga 500's in a joystick or maybe even a sub $100 AGA+ mini Amiga that uses flash drives to build the brand once again. Another idea is to have Amiga OS 4.0 running on cell phones, that market becomes more computer like every day and it is much larger than the PC market even when Apple, Linux and everyone else is thrown in. An Amiga Tivo type device is also something DiscreetFX would love to do
