Hilary, Yes, Commodore Int'l (the parent company) is in liquidation under Bahamian law. How that compares to liquidation in the US is unclear to me although some here suggest it is similar to US Chapter 11. In that respect, it is also true that some of the subsidiaries in Europe ARE still in business…and according to allreports…they were wholly owned subsidiaries of the parent company Commodore Int'l. As to whether it is a good idea to buy or not buy an Amgia now, an Amiga is still an Amiga, the fact that the parent company is in difficulty doesn't effect the functionality of the computer itself. IF you were happy with one before…there is no reason you shouldn't be happy now. The warranty provider (SMG) has made statements that they will still honor warranties and provide spare parts. How true that is…I don't know. There is also *LOTS* of rumor about the Amiga line being bought out by some Asian company (Samsung gets the most mention), supposedly informed sources or insiders statements have been posted by others indicating that the buyout should occur very soon now. AGain…it is ALL RUMOR at this point in time. Nothing has been verified from official sources. Don
