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. Matt Straney, 3 hours late, without your luggage from Grand Ledge — on AutoPilot ——–>
