- I would say: Calm down and wait for more news from Petro Tyschtschenko
- or someone else from ATG on World of Amiga. I'm sure they will say
- something.
-
- If ATG is being kept as a working company, with Petro and "his crew"
- and they are able to actually make money with selling the Amiga
- NOW, nothing is lost.
-
- I mean, ESCOM must have lost A LOT of money by putting the Amiga into
- production that fast, doing all those trade-fairs (CeBit etc.), trying
- to sell the Amiga in ESCOM-Stores (I don't think this was a good business
- for ESCOM...), in other words, they spent a lot of money to help the
- Amiga and now they sell it because they need to get into the black
- within a few months [because PC-business was bad etc. blabla...]. ESCOM
- lost all that money, the only thing they get back is 40$Mio, I don't
- think that covers a large part of their investments.
-
- Amiga Technologies is now a company that produces and sells the Amiga
- in a normal way, without some old things to pay for (ESCOM paid it all,
- and now they sold it/will sell it for 40$Mio).
-
- I hope Petro can make a company that can survive on it's own out of ATG
- as it is today.
-
- Grⁿsse, Claude
