There's one piece of Atari Falcon history that most here are probably not aware of.

Twelve to fifteen years ago Pitney-Boes used to Falcon to control a huge (50+ feet long) envelope stuffing machine. They covered the Atari name on the CPU that I saw, but not on the monitor.

Around 2002 (I think) a Kansas City Amiga/Atari dealer told me the the company had come to him trying to find more systems. They still couldn't get a PC to reliably do the same job. Plus, the Falcon saved the job record / instructions to a floppy vs gosh-knows-what for the PC.

I was being serious! How many Millions do you reckon it would take to get it off the ground? Never underestimate the power of a great machine that could have done with a bit of marketing.

Depends on what you mean. Creating a new machine, or make new batches of existing models?

Well, first you want to get asus which bought gateway, to sell you whatever Amiga IP rights they own, then tell Amiga Inc that their "exclusive licence" is terminated. If asus won't sell you the rights, you will have to buy asus and asset strip the company leaving just the Amiga IP. asset stripping is a profitable business strategy so you may make more profit from asus than selling new amigas.
you must then come up with a stategy to kill off the PC.
