- If I had told you two years ago that one year later the Amiga would be bought by
- a German PC reseller with a $1+ billion annual turnover, how would you have
- reacted?
-
- Of course even if you'd swallow *that*, you'd kick me incredulously in the groin
- when I tried to fool you into believing that yet a year later, an American
- company would buy the Amiga--and that Dave Haynie, Carl Sassenrath, Peter Kittel
- and other old friends would once again work for the platform...
-
- Life can be just like a soap opera sometimes. Only not quite so realistic.
