-
- We have no plans for scrapping any projects in the works. We're not out to
- radically alter or gut Amiga Technologies. We need to keep our developer
- happy and thriving, not piss them off.

-
- Any improvements to the chipsets that we make can and will be applied to all
- the product line. We want to keep the Amiga architecture intact, not take it
- in a radically new direction. If we change the architecture, we break a lot
- of existing software and that's like shooting ourselves in the foot. We will
- grow the computer side of the business along with our own set top boxes.

- Look for announcements in the very near future on our web site at
