- If I read it right, it looks like AT will be allowed (encouraged?) to carry
- on as if nothing had happened, it's just the name of the boss that has
- changed. The upside is that now Viscorp has a stake in ensuring continued
- development, whereas ESCOM really didn't.
-
- The possible downside is that Viscorp may decide that they don't want to
- continue making Amigas as stand-alone computing platforms, and may _only_
- make set-top boxes with them. Good for games people, not so good for
- professional aps people.
-
- Wow, come to work, and the world is upside-down again. :)
