I remember an interview where Mcewen was giving a news guy a tour of their offices.  It sounded like a big building.

The had a foosball table and things to play when they weren't working.


Looks like they had a lot of equipment too, here's some items that were auctioned off:

Here is some of the non-computer stuff... (inlcuding the foosball table!)

And no Amiga's listed in the auction!

It has to be a few years, i cant imagine it costing more then 5-10 thousand dollars a month. But yep, this proves that they were as solvent as a dodo. I'd be surprised if he gets way without jail from all this, there were some weird transfers back and forth from itek (etc.) and ainc too i remember someone pointing out. Seems they got 2 million dollars for something, weird thing is that they didnt pay their bills with it, they just fucked it all away, as far as i can remember it was from selling the rights to os4 or parts of it, rights they didnt even own.

If amiga Inc have gone bust ? Why don't the issue a statement and let the community know what's going on, yet again we're in
 the dark!

Because all their stuff has been repossessed I bet! Nothing to produce a press release on... not even an A500!

They probably put it on usenet, under the assumption nobody uses it anymore. ;)


I seriously don't understand why anyone here really gives two sh!ts? Back in 1999, I was a believer in AI and they've done nothing but continually disappoint us, time and time again. What does it matter? They need to just declare bankruptcy already.

Fools!

On a serious note, based on that link, anyone want to write a 10k check for THIS Web site?  It's at least functional and has an audience...  :)

If you want it -- and keep in mind that you'd have to cover the money changing fees to make my 10k USD, then just write me the check and I'll pay off my credit cards and be a very, very happy man.
