Everyone is assuming that Viscorp is buying AT to : continue developing and making Amiga computers, but I wonder if they : don`t just want the chipset and OS for their settop boxes, which they : already used under licence. : Paul, I think Mark is right on this. Woody is being optomistic and Mark pessemistic. There is no obvious reason to believe that there will be an immediate, significant, shift in either company's relative fortunes based on this sale. If Woody is right, both will prosper, if Mark, neither. The question is about commitment. Is VIScorp commited to the continued life and development of the Amiga computer line or simply the portion of the technology related to their main business? The two could be seen as linked. (Woody) Or not. (Mark) How can we tip the scales?
