If I read it right, it looks like AT will be allowed (encouraged?) to carry
on as if nothing had happened, it's just the name of the boss that has
changed. The upside is that now Viscorp has a stake in ensuring continued
development, whereas ESCOM really didn't.

The possible downside is that Viscorp may decide that they don't want to
continue making Amigas as stand-alone computing platforms, and may _only_
make set-top boxes with them. Good for games people, not so good for
professional aps people.

Wow, come to work, and the world is upside-down again. :)
