Right now AT is owned by a company who'se survival depends on selling PC clones, and that's where they'll put their money first. VIScorp has said they want to base their products on the Amiga, as well as continue currently planned development on the platform, while still supplying the current line of machines to the market. I'd rather have a company whose betting their survival on the Amiga running it than one who primarily bought the product to see if they can expand their current market. Besides, from the sound of it, ESCOM and VIScorp will still be working together, and people at AT will still be working there. :Mark. -- / ALSO SPRACH RFENTIMA / Robert Fentiman - University of Minnesota, Duluth \ | Amiga 2000/030/9/100 \ rfentima@ub.d.umn.edu or Robert.A.Fentiman@umn.edu / |__MST3K+Starwars+B5 Fan_\______Physics/Geology_Major_-_CS/Math Minor_______/ \_____________Pain is the body's way of saying "Don't do that!"____________/
