- I just checked the site and there are links to several Amiga sites.
- That is promising. Also, I don't think that they would spend $40M for a
- company just to let it die. As long as At can make some profit it is
- profitable for VC to keep them. Even if they aren't profitable they can
- be written off as a tax loss. The Amiga continuing is really in their
- best interest because of software developers. VC will need software
- developers for their settop boxs if they wont people to use them, and
- the more Amigas out there the more developers.
