I remember when Commodore was sold to ESCOM and everybody figured
that all ESCOM wanted was the trademark and that the Amiga was headed
right down the tubes. But that didn't happen. Amiga production was
restarted and Amiga development went ahead. But I said at the time
that if somebody was going to pay GOOD MONEY for Commodore, then they
weren't about flush it down the drain.

Now AT has been sold FOR EVEN MORE MONEY to Visicorp (a company
FULL of Amiga bigots--if you haven't heard). These guys aren't
spending $40 million just for the privilege of flushing Amy down
the toilet either.

Stay cool.
