How many copies of OS4 must they sell to recoup that?
OS4 has been prepaid, essentially. Amiga Inc. must bank on whatever "DE" technology they have to survive. Besides, don't forget about the Party Pack coupons, which also promise a free update to OS 4.1.
Having faith in insepid liars is quite the trend these days, which explains the Bush administration.
Absolutely. I'm always surprised to see so many people thinking that the release of OS4 is going to generate income for Amiga Inc. In fact it will have quite the opposite effect.
As soon as OS4 is released, I'm going to be buying a copy, then sending my proof-of-purchase, along with my non-existant coupon to Amiga's non-existant offices to get my $50 rebate (it was promised as a discount, but still...). 1300 other CAM members will be doing the same. So there's a nice $65,000 for Amiga Inc to cough up (from where?). Then we have all the current A1 owners and party pack purchasers adding to the bill.
All the release of OS4 means for Amiga Inc is another $300,000 to add to their ever-spiralling debt.
Lets hope those Pocket PC game paks are selling well.
