Hi Mike,
The rumor here is that samsung is interested in the technology(?), and
possible the amiga line. There isn't much info available as yet, although
there was someone at Samsung Austraila who confirmed that there were
infact negotiations taking place. It is also rumored that there was a
meeting at Westchester between Samsung, what's left of C=, and the Amiga
developer community(who knows how many), for the purpose of, I suppose
showing what it(Amiga) can do? I haven't heard anything about what
happened probable involves NDA's or it never happened?
I can see your position, but just remind your bosses that if they want
to jump ship, they had better get `final cost' bids with no holes.
Because of course if they don't they'll get burned. I know a PC system
can do alot of what the Amiga can in terms of multi media but it won't be
a 1:1 conversion, more like 4:1 conversion w/ big $ hardware. So the
Amiga will remain cost effective for a while. I really hope there is a
deal struck and an annoucement is made soon! This is getting real old,
and depressing, to think the world will just let it die. Wouldn't be the
first time.
