- Actually if you figure in what Escom paid to setup Amiga Tech, staff
- it, and do R&D for the Walker and currently the PowerAmiga, Escom
- probably broke even on the price. After Escom's losses and Manfred's
- departure, the writing was pretty much on the wall.
-
- But now that Escom has revived the corpse, I believe VIScorp will get
- things rocking again. Statements I have seen from Flo (PR lady) and
- Carl (Software guy) seem to indicate full backing for the Amiga as a PC
- as well as an ITV device.
