So when will we know what's happened to Amiga, Inc.?
« on: February 10, 2010, 02:21:14 AM »
Website is still down.

Anybody heard any more info?

They were a shell for years anyway.  Looks like someone turned off the life support.

I emailed the technical contact on the domain registration but I haven't heard anything back yet.

Just a guess..but since this isn't a real company nobody is paying attention to their web status and or domain name. Give it a bit until someone realizes that its down and Snowman maker & Telenet force will be rockin again!!

Wow funny i cared more about watching the weather channel then i do about A-Inc being down.  Just think they haven't done crap anyways for the last umpteen yrs and honestly i doubt any1 cares, misses or gives a crap about them.  Hopefully they will get into something more suited for them like falling in the ocean and disappearing 4ever.

I actually care - in the sense that I'm happy that it looks like they've finally folded.  If true, it's such a relief to finally have this albatross from around the necks of the Amiga community.  Don't you feel the sense of lightness! ;-)

The only reason they were still around was to finish the negotiations regarding the transfer of Amiga OS to Hyperion.
Now that the negotiations are over, I guess there is no reason for them to be around anymore.

As ral-clan said, goodbye and goodridance, now I can finally go and buy my first Amiga. I always felt that the Amiga Inc/Hyperion relation was kinda fragile, and that Amiga Inc could pull the plug anytime they wanted. Now that Hyperion has the green light and the right to use all the intellectual property, I guess it's safe to invest.

You forget we never did find out what AI got out of that new agreement, we only saw what Hyperion got.  I have a feeling that after Hyperion changed from VOF, shares got traded on a side deal with AI or McEwen.  McEwen loves back room deals, that would fit nicely into his MO.
