CEI Letter
Message #186582
Hello,all. Here is a review of the text from the CEI letter. Dear CEI Dealer: I realize that if your core business was dependent on Amiga sales the last few months have been difficult. I can assure you that we are extremely close to completing the acquisition of C= and…
Hi Hank. I got the same letter, I'm going to try to post it on the Amiga user forum tomorrow, unless _you_ feel like doing the typing !! 🙂 Any day now, any day now…….. Mike Brenan, Sir Render A/V
#C=UK – Press Story
Message #186478
Hi Ed. Some one posted the info about C=UK under the same heading on a different thread. It's funny to hear that a "deal is pending" (again), because I just recieved a letter from CEI that states that "a deal is pending" (again). I'll try to post the letter tomorrow…
Hi Mike. Your message posted fine. Welcome to the forum. 🙂 Mike Brennan, Sir Render A/V
Hi Kurt. Yes, I would tend to agree, the DEC (and R4600 MIPS systems) are a good stepping stone for peole like me who need beyond pentium power at a "reasonable" price.(I would like to see specs on an 060 though) Like I said, a limited market. Mike Brennan, Sir…
Hi Hank I'm getting some info faxed from Deskstation technologies tomorrow, but the CEI fax is the one I'll be watching the FAX for. Let's hope…. Mike Brennan, Sir Render
Hi Cris It depends on what you mean by "no one is buying them". Dec Alpha's are not cheap, and most people in the home market just won't pay the price for so much speed. They run under windows NT, again, not a "home market" item. The cheapest way to…
Hi Ed. I would like to see info on real time 3D animation via "virtual actors". These systems are wired to an actor, and the motion data is transfered to a computer that animates it in real time. I would also like to see an interview with Grant Boucher and…
Thanks for the info John ! I'm heading over at warp speed ! ENGAGE! Mike Brennan, Sir Render
#Amiga Voyager ?
Message #182922
Hi Everyone ! Have you seen Star Trek Voyager ? Does the "Voyager" look familiar ? Is it me, or does the "Voyager" seem "squid like" kind of like it was modeled after the "Sea Quest" sub? What do you think? I was wondering if Amblin was doing the special…

Hi Hank. Sorry for the delay in responding,I've been busy with some new projects. I belive that NoahJi's is sending the kit out to every dealer. Try calling Eric Kloor at 303-499-1975 Let me know what you think when you get the info. Looks as though it would make a…
Hi Tony. Email me with an asking price on the Par, or call me at 609-625-0721. Thanks, Mike Brennan, Sir Render.
PMFJI: I know it's comparing apples and oranges, but I've had a 2000/30 running Scala as an information channel at Showboat Casino for 3 years, 24hrs a day, and I've _never_ crashed. I take the machine "off line" to edit or title videos, ect. and it keeps going, and going…..…
Hardware/Software 4 sale
Message #180305
O.K. Matt, Let me know if it falls through. M.B.
Hi Erik. I read your article on the Nitro-VLB in the November VTU. Do you mind if I ask a few questions? We could start a new thread. Thanks, and please forgive the interuption. We now return you to your regular thread ! 🙂
>Is this something like "dog years"? You know, 1 human year equals 7 dog years? 1 Bahamian month equals 3 normal months? Makes sense to me. 🙂 Yea, we've _all_ been "dogged" by the liquidators for what seems like years !!! Mike Brennan, Sir Render SYSTEM FAILURE: could not execute…
What version of Caligary Broadcast? Mike Brennan 74453,3117
Happy Holidays Henry, see you next week.. Mike Brennan, Sir Render
Thanks Vance. I've had to post my letters under the gun, late at night, and I guess the lights were on, but no one was home !!!!! "Tech" is so common at work that I used it without thinking. Happy Holidays, Mike Brennan
Sorry, Alex, but nothing about this saga has been "Rushed" 🙂 Mike Brennan, Sir Render SYSTEM FAILURE: could not execute command " RESUME PRODUCTION" could not find file "NEW OWNER"
Hi Fred. >The latest news from UK guys on CIX state that UK could have won the bid… Absolutely no confirmations of this so far, of course! Gee, never heard _THAT_ one before.Glad it's settled !!! Let me guess, We'll know _for SURE_ in 10 days. 🙂 Mike Brennan, Sir…
Hi Tom. > The ShaBLAMM, a RISC based board for VESA VL-BUS PC's looked like a very cost-effective solution if you have the PC. I've done some reading on this unit, and although it looks promising, I was let down by the specs. It will render at about 2.7 to…
Hi Henry…. >A Flyer without a Toaster to drive would be a race car driver without his car. As you may have well guessed, that was my point. And face it, that's a good thing. Because a PC toaster/flyer combo would _KILL_ what little is left of the Amiga market.…
How much for the 3000 ? Mike Brennan74453,3117
What were the systems and prices? Mike Brennan 74453,3117
Thanks Henry. One Question, though. I was under the impresion that the Flyer worked in conjunction with the Toaster.Since the Toaster is not platform independant, how do they propose to port it. Did they mention a multi platform Toaster ? Just wondering…. Mike Brennan, Sir Render. SYSTEM FAILURE:could not execute…
#Amiga clones
Message #178804
PMFJI: I have sat and read this thread with great interest, but have stayed out of the cross fire. I must say, though, that I too deal with CEI on a regular basis, and they have _always_ done right by me. I am not a high volume dealer, but I…
CEI/CBM as 11/28
Message #178802
Very nicely put, DJ. And thanks again for the laughs ! Mike Brennan, Sir Render SYSTEM FAILURE: could not execute command "RESUME PRODUCTION" could not find file "NEW OWNER"
CEI made Offer!
Message #178801
Thanks for the info Hank. One thing confuses me, though. I was under the impression that all interested bidders had to have a deposit in by August !!!! (I thought that maybe we got trapped in a time/space continuum, and that's why this thing keeps on going unresolved. Just to…
Pentium math
Message #178800
Thanks, John. I printed them out, and hung them on the shop wall ! Mike Brennan, Sir Render SYSTEM FAILURE: could not execute command "RESUME PRODUCTION" could not find file "NEW OWNER"
Is it true that CEI's backers dropped out ? I hope Alex is on line in the conference tonight, some answer's are needed _now_. If the consortium is still together, maybe it's time to _lower_ the offer, just to let the debter's know that the liquidators have dropped the ball…

I have one. Do you need the 030 or the 040 ? Mike Brennan, Sir Render.
#Business Morals
Message #177189
Ooops….Meant Ceative Computors. >Medhi Ali's reasoning that ALL the Amigas would work with an ordinary VGA monitor. Hah! Tell that to a Toaster owner! Wow, For real ? I heard that he couldn't format a disk either ! BTW, I recieved some mail on the 1995 Video Maker Expo at…
Crazy Eddie.
Message #177187
>"Our company _was_ insane !!" – so were the stupid commercials . You should have seen the out takes !!!! Mike Brennan, Sir Render A/V
> I do remember that his claim to fame was the IBM PC jr !! >>Well, you can't narrow the feild much more than that. I always thought he was one of the points of light at Commodore somehow. I didn't know the man, I just have heard the stories.…
>ok, i won't i forgot what i was saying in the last msg before yours. Please, let me sum it up for you. So far, you have said _nothing_. Mike Brennan,Sir Render A/V "Yea, though I walk through the Silicon Valley of death, I fear no evil, for my faith…
Comdex
Message #174590
> I would go with 16 MB _minimum_ and at least 350 MB hard drive or I wouldn't even sign the ticket. That's my point, the 16 meg would just cover your os. Say that you were running a 3D program, you would want to have another 16 meg of…

getting tired
Message #166873
I think we should rename the the "Terminators";-)
New or used?
Send a list of all machines and prices.Thanks..Mike B,Sir Render.
Fred.. I think that I can clear this whole matter up. I spoke with I Maycom Crazee, official spokesperson for the liquidators. He said that he knows we believe that we understand what we think he said, but he was not sure if we realize that what we heard was…
I heard that too, but I was told that Harpo Marks was also a silent partner. I called him for a comment, but he wouldn't talk! 😉 Mike B
I'm 99.99% shure that something or nothing may or may not happen at any timenow. 😉 Mike B
How can I get those pages! 🙂 Mike B

EGS-Spectrum
Message #165140
Wayne…. there is no EGS Composit Adapter. If you want to tape EGS 24 bit files, (or anims) you can use a PAR Card. Granted, it is an expensive (but fun 😉 toy, but if you need to output anims, it's cheap compared to a single frame recorder. There you…
