I will say one thing, I was in the Seattle area in July this year.. Maybe I was there on the wrong day, or they were in Europe somewhere hanging out with Medhi Ali or something ;-)

However my impression after trying to contact the snoqualmi office (I wanted a tour and would have paid for it . Hey! that would bring in some money at least!) was "the lights were on but no one was home".

An old Atari/Amiga guy (who was there for the same games dev conference I was) told me they bought the whole thing for 10 cents on the dollar and they were attempting to try to find a BUYER for the Amiga Tech reminants who would keep it alive.  

Who knows how true this is, but it's wid speculation to me, but he does live in Bill Gates back yard and he's definitely aware of any regional wheelings and dealings that might be going on.

Where do you come up with the $2mill figure sources tell me what they paid wasn't any where near that and remember they "LICENSED" the patents and bought the name. Gateway still owns a lot of the itellectual property and uses it to defend pc designs as far as I know..

Speaking of ARexx, I wonder what Bill Hawes is doing today or if he's even aware of the scenario. The same goes for Len Poma CrossDOS's author extraordinaire..

PS Len is local to me here in Michigan.. I hope he sees this and responds..
