Just wonder what "doesn't look good" about it.  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.
