Interesting... And possible hopeful!

How did a guy like this (read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentti_Kouri) get involved with the Amiga? Anyone know the back story? Tell us...

Does that mean he died?

Do you have a link?

No a death is never a good thing for the people , the friends and family of that person.

There is something very very very wrong with you people

It's a site in Finland in the Swedish language (the Svenska give it away).

Well.. Shady dealing. Lots of coverage in the press when he did his infamous "Kouri deals" in Finland back in the 80s.

Might be hard to be too sympathetic.

I guess Amiga will be sold to new investors soon.

You know what I think would be best?

If MS or Apple purchased it just for the kill & abandoned everything into the public domain to ensure the Amiga brand never competed with them again.

Why would that be good? Community control (or lack thereof), that's why :-)

Apple and MS can pretty much sit back and do nothing and the Amiga brand will never compete with them again.
