- Petro T. said in his Amazing Amiga interview that VISCorp plans on
- selling their set-top box FIRST in France (as they already have a
- customer waiting to buy them) and then Germany, UK etc.. no mention of
- North America STILL even though they are a US based company. This is
- where AT in Germany comes into play.. I would assume they would be the
- major distributor of both computers and ED overseas without VISCorp
- actually having to make a deal with anyone else or set up a branch their
- themselves.

- I don't think it will be the "Amiga ED" but if so, Amy just got a
- boyfriend (or a brother depending on how you look at it) :)
