- Very interesting... I never put it all together like that, but
- it seems highly possible. I always wondered WHY Mehidi Ali and
- Irving Gould seemed to do everything possible to destroy the
- Amiga. Also, at the peak of its rebirth, or so it seemed to
- me, as the Amiga was being hailed for its use in Babylon5,
- Seaquest DSV, etc. suddently C= went bankrupt. Just after the
- A4000(T) and A1200 were released. While new AAA technology was
- supposedly working in prototypes. Everything seemed wonderful
- for the Amigas future. I considered buying C= stock. Glad I
- didn't since, I guess all those people in the C= shareholder
- movement lost all their money!! That was another odd thing..
- Many people were buying shares in an attempt to leverage out
- Gould and Ali.
- Yes, I definately agree something went awry. And notice, it is
- ONLY at the owners of the Amiga (well, no evidence of AT yet,
- but C= for sure). While the Amiga support companies (Phase5,
- Macrosystems) make huge technological and manufacturing advaces
- (heck they even produce Dracos because C= wouldn't make a
- system good enough). VERY strange. If C= had really cared
- about its successes, they would have done more research on
- accelerators, and gfx cards, and everything else that people
- buy for their Amiga. A lot of times we end up spending more on
- periferals than on the base system. That's where there is good
- money to be made.
- (NB: Of course, the C= engineers were very dedicated and I have
- higest repects for them)
-
- I wish I knew who (or what) is behind all this.

- THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
