There obviously is no way to prevent you from disseminating the phone number.
Asinine? Possibly. Pointless? Yes.
The Samsung rumor is a _rumor_. There is no factual evidence to suggest that
Samsung or anyone else has expressed any interest in Commodore or the Amiga.
If you like rumors, I heard a good one today … Commodore presented an offer
from Samsung to the Bahamian Supreme Court on the 31th and the court turned
down the proposal and gave Commodore a 30 day extension to find and present an
acceptable offer. My source? Who cares … it is RUMOR.
At any rate, if Samsung (or whoever) is working a deal Commodore, their PR
department is not going to tell you a thing. They either have no idea what is
going on (unless you speak Korean and are willing to call their main office in
Seoul) or they will lie to you — until and if a deal is done, an announced to
the public you are not going to get squat out of them.
Rumor says Sony is buying Commodore, so is Philips, don't forget that Jim Drew
stated his desire to form a consortium of developers to purchase or license the
technology … then there's the HP rumors, GoldStar was mentioned a couple of
times (no, Samsung and Goldstar are not the one and the same — they are big
time competitors). Make sure you post all of their numbers so they can all be
annoyed equally.
