I think there's a typo on that press release.. it says "17th April" when surely it should say "1st April"...?

Amiga was at the forefront of the tech boom in America and today is the third most recognized brand in Europe


That statement is an outright lie as far as I can see.... Amiga Inc didn't even exist in the technology boom of the 80's - the Amiga was a computer made by Commodore, not Amiga Inc. - and as a semi-European I can tell you it'd be lucky to be in the top 200 brands. I don't hold anything against Amiga Inc. as I can understand their situation, but this sort of nonsense isn't doing them any favours...
