- As far as Amiga's are concerned I _really_ doubt that! Wasn't it Jost, who
- pushed C= into the PClown market in the '80s -- a market with a HUGE loss
- in the early '90s for C= and one of the main reasons of C='s failiure?
- AFAIK it was the German subsidiary of C= who developed and produced the
- PClown's.
-
- I hope the rather good work (considering limited staff and financial resources)
- of Amiga Technologies will continue in the future. I'm _REALLY_ looking
- forward to the PowerAMIGA.
