From the 'Amiga Inc Partner' archive, Transmeta. Now a penny stock.

Transmeta is now trading as a penny stock, a long was from it's $50+ back in 2000. The question is, can there be any other outcome other than death at this point?

I think that pretty much was the hopes of every Amigan on the planet in the late 90's. I'd still think there'd be a niche market for such a processor, but obviously not in their radar. :-(

AFAIK Transmeta WAS NOT Amiga Inc Partner.

It's debatable whether they were actually ever a partner, true. Amiga Inc *DID* list them as a partner at one time though.

It's a bit far-fetched to blame the failure of Transmeta on Amiga, or why do you mention them as "Amiga, Inc partner archive" members ?

Blame on Amiga Inc? You are reading far to much into this. The current Amiga Inc has absolutey nothing to do with any success or failure of "partners" from years past. If you are talking about "The Amiga Curse", it's not me that mentioned it.

-Edit-
There is of course, a natural curiosity to see what ever became of previous "partners". Like most here I'm sure, I was here reading every word posted, hanging on to every sentence back then anxious to see what would become of the Amiga, after every direction change. The "partners" were a critical piece of this, what role would they play? Now that the partnerships evaporated, it's still curious to see what they could have brought to the plate, or what they are up to. They all had a small hand in the history of the Amiga. Given in most cases a VERY small hand, as they all seem to have been a partner on paper only.
