- If his stock was lowered by around 30% that wouldn't make him the main
- shareholder anymore would it? That would only leave him with a 20.2%
- share.. what is the next closest shareholder to him or has someone got
- more now?
-
- It is the Amiga curse I tell you! Or perhaps he got payed off by Bill
- Gates! :)
-
- How will this affect Amiga Technologies? What about he resigns and
- someone new takes over and says the Amiga and Amiga Technologies are
- draining too much from Escom and closes up shop or sells them to someone
- else? I'd say the Amiga "Walker" and Power Amiga and the future of the
- Amiga would probably be killed.
-
- I think he should stay on for at least one more year to see that things
- should balance out.
