- My understanding is that VISCORP is buying the whole AT company. Office
- space, production arrangements and all. It sounds like in the short term
- nothing is going to change except who owns AT. I suspect nearly all the same
- people will be working at AT after the buyout as are now.
-
- The big bright side of this whole thing. We will finally fully separate the
- Amiga from the Commodore name (which is retained by ESCOM)!!!!!
