- Just wonder what "doesn't look good" about it. Right now AT is owned by
- a company who'se survival depends on selling PC clones, and that's where
- they'll put their money first. VIScorp has said they want to base their
- products on the Amiga, as well as continue currently planned development
- on the platform, while still supplying the current line of machines to
- the market. I'd rather have a company whose betting their survival on
- the Amiga running it than one who primarily bought the product to see if
- they can expand their current market. Besides, from the sound of it,
- ESCOM and VIScorp will still be working together, and people at AT will
- still be working there.
