"An explosion of new Amiga products"

Damn, so that's why we never got to see the products, huh?  I seem to have found a minor flaw in their business plan.
Good good study, day day up!

Interesting timing. I think Wayne just started a thread about how he's thinking of selling his. :-D

@Matt_H

No coincidence really, I was talking to Wayne and the subject came up which made think think to find my copy to sell. Unfortunately the reason the subject came up involves, let's just say, an unfortunate accident with which Wayne's copy which is no longer available..:-(

Mine listed may be the last one left on the planet..

I had been asking Red's advice on how to best list my copy since he's the e-bay king.  As a matter of fact, I've been working to empty my outside garage and house as of late via e-bay and garage sales and Red's council has proven invaluable.

Alas, I stupidly laid my copy of the press kit on the kitchen counter where I thought it was out of the way and safe.  I went into the living room and was working on ripping up the carpet for my remodelling when I heard my cats get into a ruckus (which is normal, especially since the changes to the house started).  I ran into the kitchen to find my copy edge-in to a pan I'd left soaking in the sink.  

Sucks to be me I suppose, but there's too much left in my garage to fret over a single lost item.

Doh! Sorry, Wayne :-(
Hope the remodelling is at least going well.


Good luck with the auction, Red.

Jose,

Why not?  It's a documented piece of Amiga history..  I'd have sold mine were it not for those darned cats.

@Wayne

Well, cause it's just complete vapour and vague. At least most designs and specs from Commodore that didn't make it, had plenty work dedicated to it. AAA even had a prototype and hombre had many hardware details worked on.
But hey I don't wanna ruin Red's auction here, it IS a piece of Amiga history.

It's all good:-) I agree a piece of hardware would be preferable, but really the only think Amiga Inc was selling in 1999 *was* vapour and vague promises.

Now someone can own a piece of that vapour! :rtfm:

LOL, sorry.. I am getting a laugh out of it all.. :lol:

I'm not surprised they didn't succeed after spelling suceed and distributing it in a press pack.

The language sounds a bit Fleecyesque........
