Hey, CodeSmith no one is trying to crush anyone...;-)

MarkTime, as most entrepreneurs, Nolan has had his ups and downs, but you cannot deny his past and the multi-billion dollar industry he spawned through Pong and Atari.  He has always been on the contemporary intellectual/technical edge.  He is now too...;-)
   
uwink is his new company.  uwink develops, promotes, distributes and maintains video games at "point-of-fun" sites in many places -- airports, restaurants, shopping malls, etc.  It is a complete package and they update their arcade machines running Linux via the internet.  The Pegasos is perfect for uwink's needs.  We might even see MorphOS start to run some of the machines later in the year.
   
uwink has developed over a 100 "short form" titles that are perfect for a STB.  Wouldn't it be cool if the man who started Atari came back to christen a new Atari STB?  ;-)

 "Amiga" is still in this whole thing CodeSmith!
   
Please think about this...the Pegasos, MorphOS and the SuperBundle are a package.  This *package* springs from the AMIGA Community.  Nearly, everything we have done so far is based on this foundation.  This does not change.  This is the CORE TECHNOLOGY.
   
All the other products are derivatives (and may or may not include all the components)...an ATARI STB, an Amiga II, the eclipsis, the Psylent, etc.  There could be different operating systems, or only certain application software, etc.  It is actually more about spreading the *risk* rather that taking one, as some have suggested.
   
What we are trying to do is open up the market by creating multiple opportunities.  When you have all the pieces (hardware, OS, applications) you can do that, carving off what is needed to do what needs to be done.
   
Not trying to get anyone upset, just trying to go things going again around here...;-)
   
Congratulations greenboy!  Keep marching ahead...MarkTime no more!   :-D
   
Avance et triomphe!
   
Raquel and Bill  :-)
