- Hi Gary,
-
- While it's a bit premature to discuss what our long range plans are for
- the Amiga I can say that we have every intention of continuing the
- existing product lines and are considering future models.
-
- The success of our set-top box products depend largely on keeping the
- loyal and talented base of Amiga developers happy. We plan on using a
- lot of the existing software applications, not to take the architecture
- in a radically new direction. It benefits us all to grow both the
- general Amiga computer lines and our own embedded product designs
- together.
-
- I know this may sound a bit vague but I can't say anything more
- definite right now. Look for announcements in the very near future on
- our web site at http://www.vistv.com
-
- Just to let you know, we are not just another faceless corporate entity
- looking to disembowl companies for a profit. The pricipal people
- (myself included) involved in VisCorp are ex-Commodore folks, both
- managers and engineers. We're the same group that brought you CDTV.
-
- Believe it or not, there are people in charge of the Amiga that
- actually *care* about the technology. What a concept. One of the main
- reasons that we considered what some might call a 'dead' platform for
- our set-top applications is that there is still a huge, loyal developer
- base on tap. We plan on making the best use of available applications
- and talent.
-
- Our set-top boxes are architecturally similar to the current Amiga
- products so anything we do to promote the current Amiga lines only
- helps us in the long run. We intend to continue production of existing
- models and we *will* consider the development of new machines.
-
- Our primary purpose for wanting to aquire the technology is to support
- it properly, improve the chipsets, and apply the technology in new
- markets. Things that the old C= never wanted to do. The Amiga
- architecture is key to our own products and we wanted to insure its
- future.
-
- We *like* the Amiga and intend to keep up production of the current
- models. The vision isn't dead, it's being reborn.
-
- Cheers,
- Steve

- And, yes, Steve did say that I could post this. Read it carefully and
- you'll see what changed my mind.
