- Something really doesn't add up here.
-
- Escom paid $12m for the remains of C=. Now they are selling just AmigaTech
- for $40m, while keeping the C= name for their PC division in Germany.
-
- SO WHY DIDN'T VISICORP BUY THE WHOLE OF COMMODORE?
-
- I don't mean to shout, but this has been screaming out and noone has asked
- it yet. They could have had it all for 1/3 of the price, and then sold the
- C= name to Escom.
-
- As I said, something just isn't what it seems.

- Phil.
