- I remember when Commodore was sold to ESCOM and everybody figured
- that all ESCOM wanted was the trademark and that the Amiga was headed
- right down the tubes. But that didn't happen. Amiga production was
- restarted and Amiga development went ahead. But I said at the time
- that if somebody was going to pay GOOD MONEY for Commodore, then they
- weren't about flush it down the drain.
-
- Now AT has been sold FOR EVEN MORE MONEY to Visicorp (a company
- FULL of Amiga bigots--if you haven't heard). These guys aren't
- spending $40 million just for the privilege of flushing Amy down
- the toilet either.
-
- Stay cool.
