- i share the same concerns.The only thing said about the PC range is they will
- continue to sell A1200 and A4kT computers and will support the current and
- future developments of AT.What does this mean to us?
-
- It is clear though that VIScorp are mainly interested in the Amiga Technology
- for there set top boxes and not much else.
-
- Maybe it's time for a few clone companies to enter the market?.Companies like
- Phase 5 and the guys who make the Draco would be obvious takers of any license
- to make 'clones'.We may even see cheaper prices with the competition and a
- better marketing policy.
-
- although I think it is too early to comment just yet on the future of AT and
- VIScorp when the sales still hasnet gone ahead and no real hard facts have
- been released by AT regarding the future of the Amiga PC range.
-
- BTW if the sale goes through whats going to happen with the marketing campaign
- with McDonalds in Germany?
