- I actually visited Oxxi at their Signal Hill, California office on Monday
- 18 March 1996. I only stopped by because I had an appointment in the
- area and I just wanted to confirm their physical presence since their
- voice line was disconnected and they didn't answer my FAX.
-
- Anyway, John Houston chatted with me for about 3-1/2 hours (mostly about
- their new PCI video card for Windows95). He did mention that someone was
- working on SBasePro4, estimated 30 hours per week in addition to their
- regular job.
-
- The bottom line is that Oxxi just wasn't getting orders (for obvious
- reasons). For cryin' out loud (in response to the person who suggested a
- boycott), Amigas won't sell if software isn't available and vice versa.
-
- Oxxi is willing to support existing Amiga products at a "break even"
- level. In other words, They'd need about $2500 in Amiga orders per
- month to cover the salary of one developer (and that's cheap)!
