Someone just posted this on a local club list:

Plus I tried to go to http://www.amiga.com and it said it could not find the site. 10 minutes later, it was there.

Hmm..... I could use a new office chair....

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

[meerschaum]

lmao 'alive and kickin'  and 'on schedule and rockin' lmao...I wonder if Sun,IBM,HP, or any of the rest have similer auctions.

It's all very zen... they must now cast off their material possessions in this transition into the promised 11th chapter....  errr.....  hahaha!

Man...  one really does have to wonder what the banquet at the show will consist of.  I wish it were a bit more central US.  I wouldn't mind driving there, but it just isn't worth the price of the airline/hotel for me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Certainly, I'm sure they do... Normally it's to get rid of 10 year old equipment, or to close down a particular operation (such as when a company has many plants).

Based on what we know of Amiga Inc's eviction, pending and awarded lawsuits, my bet is on a foreclosure and seizure of assets to cover unpaid bills.  But that's just my opinion, and has been for about a year now.

I work for a very large furnituremanufacturing company. I can fix a 20% cut of normal price now that AInc is re-decorating.. but can I have one t-shirt as a return? :-)

@Wayne

I mean if Sun/HP/IBM close their offices and auction everything off while their 'on schedule and rockin'

I think that's mostly the case here... Unfortunatly, I think that was the only equipment and operation they had, though.  ;-)

I don't think it's actually a foreclosure, though.  (Wouldn't that need to be disclosed?)  Just a reduction of.... well....  all material assets.  Most likely in a closing of shop, or a reduction of weight and bills with a last hope for a new buyer for the bits of IP of it. (Microsoft scoops Amiga Anywhere, and Hyperion gets OS4? -- probably what they're hoping for)  Then close shop and go home.

I want to bid on the Nameplate that went on Bill's desk that says "CEO of Amiga", think it'll be there? :-P

Sitting here thinking about this, and going back through the posts regarding the subject when they vehemently denied losing their offices, stating only that they have "relocated", I wonder if anyone will actually apologize to me for all the times I've been called a liar for bringing this stuff to the community's attention?

When they shut down the offices last year, I told you all this was happening.  I was called a liar...  That trend continues to this day with the Garry Hare incident...

It gets tiring being right all the time, but I'll be interested to hear the spin on this from McEwen himself at Amiwest.  I'm just not paying $35 to hear it.
