Well, we have reached 1997, and still there is no conclusion to the Amiga's current situation; but if you look carefully...somehow...you might see some sunshine poking through the clouds.
The last few months, of course, have brought a series of unexpected events to the Amiga community. VIScorp falling out of favor in some circles, Carl Sassenrath and Jason Compton leaving VIScorp, and VIScorp falling out of the lead in the struggle to acquire the Amiga all occurred without much warning, and as a result threw us into the situation we now face. And what is that situation?
That situation, my friends, may be the one we have been all waiting for! It is too early to tell exactly what is going to happen, but QuikPak has announced its intentions to attempt to acquire the Amiga. For those who don't know, QuikPak has been building Amigas in North America during these lean times, and has even introduced some new models in the interim. Examples include the 68060 version of the A4000T, and a new portable Amiga. You can read Steve Collins's report on AmigaFest below in the Table of Contents for more information.
In any event, one way or another, the Amiga appears to be returning to America from its trip to Europe. Let's hope whoever triumphs, in the end, can give it a warm welcome back.
