Amiga Inc auctioning off office and computers?

Well it's possible that they're just getting rid of some old st...

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *wipes tear from eye*

Oh, for fun.  I'm sorry, I couldn't complete that statement without busting out laughing.  Yeah, they're hosed.  I mean if you can't get 200 teeshirts printed up...or refund $50 here and there.

Woo! :-o

Y'know this is beginning to remind me of the death of Commodore - for days some folks were saying "it ain't dead!" and "Look, I can ping their VAX machine!  They're still alive!"

etc.

Heh.

Alas, no floor polisher left though.  Ah well.

I feel pity for those losing their jobs, the IT market sucks lemme tell you what.

In other news, I think it's downright weird that three posters here are all from Florida.  You'd think the population distribution for Amiga users would dictate one in each state.

BTW, the Amiga.com site is still up insofar as I can tell.

I guess they were paid up to their webhost until the end of the month.

Very true.... though from the sound of it, they hadn't actually been paying anyone in a while, so I guess they were essentially out of work for a while, already.  From the human side, bankruptcies do suck.

You got that right...

I figured this new Amiga venture was doomed from the get-go anyway.  Pity the Amy couldn't have found a death with dignity.

Nothing there yet, but the day is still young.

Well, it can't get any worse. With OS4 in the hands of Hyperion, it doesn't look like anything new will come out from a post-Amiga Inc. company. You might as well build a whole new computer, and then, it's "not Amiga".

Really, I had no interest in Amiga Inc. revamping the 68K systems. PC hardware has moved on, and there are hundreds of companies that can make effecient hardware better than anything Commodore could dream of doing. Volume tends to weed out the weak like that.

The Amiga and its hardware principles died with Commodore. I wanted a brand new machine that works *LIKE* the Amiga, but running on common PC hardware. Since I'm a big fan of interpreted programming languages, VP really got my attention. But then, there was endless silence.

Waccoon just said the only accurate thing about the Amiga since the demise of Commodore.  I salute him.

Unfortunately, nobody's going to listen.  I mean, hell's bells, Dave Haynie has said as much and nobody listens to him, either.
