- Although this is going way out on a limb and has a 90% of being wrong
- (in fact they may even turn out to be direct and ferocious competitors),
- perhaps the top secret M2 derivative based project that the M2 WWW page says
- that RJ Mical is working on has been in conjunction with VIScorp? RJ,
- Needle and the VISCorp gang all know each other from way back in the
- early 80's when they created the Amiga and the company that bought the M2
- rights wants to move into set top boxes and networking boxes yet I don't
- believe that they have much of an OS yet, or copper lists and
- some other useful stuff as well for that matter. Of course, no viscorp
- comments directly hint at that, and a number seem to actually hint against
- it.
