From Amazing Computing For The Commodore Amiga According to our source at the Commodore Auction in New York today, initial bidding was made by only two companies, ESCOM of Germany and DELL Computer. There were sixty attendees at the auction. Most of the attendees were previous stockholders, creditors, and other interested parties. No one else offered the required $1 million deposit, although one CA dealer did express interest and attempted to bid but they were unable to show an ability to pay the $1 million. Although the Dell Computer bid offered more money, the Dell bid required additional time to study the patents. This request was declined and ESCOM's lower bid was accepted. The ESCOM bid will be presented to the Bankruptcy court in New York but there is expected to be strong opposition. In any event, the court presentation tomorrow should be the final act in this continung saga. Don Hicks Managing Editor Amazing Computing
