Is Amiga.com too quiet all of a sudden?
« on: November 14, 2006, 03:20:13 AM »
For a few months we were getting lots of news from Bill McEwen. Now it sems that things are very quiet. With almost a month before Christmas, I would have expected something by now. I was eally surprised that nothing was announced or presented at Amiwest.

I know, I should not really be surprised. Has anyone heard anything at all?

never expect anything from any company, especially Amiga/McEwen or anyone else.

With that Q and A session here, I think they've used up their publicity quota for the next 5 years  :insane:

Maybe DiscreetFX and AI are finalizing the buyout.  Old management is training their replacements, inventory is being checked, website is being modified internally before the big rollout.. gettin ready for the big Christmas sales event... Bill Buck, DiscreetFX and AI's CEOs are all drinking wine laughing it up talking about the past.. previous bankruptcies, lawsuits, old deals gone sour etc.




...or was that just a dream?
